US: President Donald Trump had a contentious meeting with airline CEs, report says

A meeting between president Donald Trump, the CEs of some of the biggest airlines in the US and Qatar Airways CE Akbar al Baker devolved into "a lot of yelling," according to a report from NBC News detailing the meeting. The group met in the Oval Office in what NBC News called an "'Apprentice'-worthy showdown." The outlet reported CEs of American Airlines and United Airways were in attendance to air some grievances regarding what they believe are unfair practices by airlines in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. However -- and much to Trump's chagrin -- Delta Airlines CE Ed Bastian was absent. "The president kept going back to it," a source who attended the meeting said regarding Bastian's absence. "There was a lot of yelling." In the end, Trump told the airline CEs to take their issues to the DoT. <br/>
