Trump can act to prevent airline layoffs, says chief of staff
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on 8/26 that the Donald Trump administration is considering the possibility of issuing executive orders to prevent mass layoffs on the country’s airlines, one of the sectors most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The decrees would be a way to get around the impasse with the Democrats over the new economic stimulus package. Negotiations were suspended earlier this month and, since then, there has been no dialogue between representatives of the White House and the opposition. https://valor.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2020/08/26/trump-pode-agir-para-evitar-demissoes-em-aereas-diz-chefe-de-gabinete.ghtml
