0:00I'm Ben Thomas with an AP News Minute. President Trump says he'll impose a 25 percent tariff on autos from the European Union next week, accusing the EU of not complying with a trade deal struck last year. And the president says he's still considering a taxpayer funded takeover of spirit airlines. Sakamegani has details. The troubled low-cost carriers said last week it was talking with the government about a financing deal that would let spirit leave chapter 11 protection. At the same time, the president had said the government could take over spirit and later sell it for a profit once oil prices drop. Today, he says it's still under consideration. If we could do it, we'd do it, but only if it's a good deal. That he'd like to save jobs at the airline, but America has to come first. Bipartisan critics are concerned about using tax dollars and whether federal support would amount to bailing out a company unlikely to recover. Sakamegani, Washington, and I've been Thomas.
