We generalize the fundamental theorem of asset pricing (FTAP) and hedging dualities in \cite{ZZ8} to the case where the investor can short American options. Following arXiv:1502.06681, we assume that the longed American options are divisible. As for the shorted American options, we show that the divisibility plays no role regarding arbitrage property and hedging prices. Then using the method of enlarging probability spaces proposed in arXiv:1604.05517, we convert the shorted American options to European options, and establish the FTAP and sub- and super-hedging dualities in the enlarged space both with and without model uncertainty.
