(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he may unveil a bailout proposal for the beleaguered U.S. airline industry by the weekend.

The president said Thursday at a White House briefing that he met with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao to work on details of the proposal.

Airlines have been frustrated by delays in U.S. aid after being virtually shutdown by the coronavirus. Some of those carriers are depending on federal funds to meet payroll obligations next week and face the prospect of furloughing workers.

Trump said he expected to offer “a very acceptable package” and may hold talks with the carriers.
