President Donald Trump said on Friday he delivered a final proposal in an attempt to keep Spirit Airlines from folding. He said an announcement on the result could come soon after the White House made its most recent offer to Spirit and creditors.

“We’re looking at it. If we could do it, we’ll do it. But only if it’s a good deal,” he said earlier Friday, speaking to reporters before departing the White House for Florida. He reiterated he would like to save the 14,000 jobs at the carrier.
