It's the fourth major U.S. carrier to cut its 2026 forecast this month because of a spike in fuel costs.

American Airlines (AAL.O) forecast a 2026 loss on Thursday, abandoning its previous forecast range that allowed for a ​profit, as high jet fuel prices outpace fare increases ‌and squeeze margins.

Stephen Hubbard, an American imprisoned in Russia for more than four years on charges of fighting as a mercenary in Ukraine, has been released as part of talks between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg.

The administration has teed up more political appointees to review and potentially approve President Donald Trump’s planned triumphal arch at a key federal hearing next month.

The talks in St Petersburg, the ninth time that Witkoff has met Putin ​in person, began with a goodwill gesture from Russia - the release of a retired US school teacher held in Russia.
