White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Wednesday that if deadlocked lawmakers can’t reach a relief deal to help ailing airline workers, President Donald Trump may step in with executive action.

“If Congress is not going to work, this president is going to get to work and solve some problems,” Meadows said Wednesday at an event hosted by Politico. “Hopefully we can help the airlines and keep some of those employees from being furloughed.”
