  "account": "American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) plans to match the $1,000 federal Trump Account contribution for employees' children with an additional one-time $1,000. This program, which could benefit about 1.4 million children currently enrolled in Trump Accounts, aims to strengthen employee benefits at a relatively low cost. CEO Robert Isom emphasized the company's commitment to helping team members build a strong financial future. American joins over 50 companies in committing to the accounts, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised the move. The airline also plans to allow eligible employees to make pretax payroll contributions of up to $2,500 annually starting in 2027. While the program carries some financial and political risks, American Airlines has the financial flexibility to absorb the benefit without significantly impacting its overall spending profile.",
