US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he was scrapping two
business advisory councils in the wake of several high-profile
resignations in protest over his comments on a white supremacist rally
in Virginia that turned violent.
“Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the
Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending
both. Thank you all!” Trump said on Twitter.
The CEOs of Merck, Intel and Under Armour were among those who quit
the forums following Trump’s comments about Saturday’s violence in
Charlottesville, Virginia.
A suspected Nazi sympathiser then plowed his car into a crowd of
anti-racism protesters, leaving one woman dead and 19 others injured.
The driver, James Fields, has been charged with second-degree murder.
