CEOs leave Trump's Advisory Councils
US President Donald Trump has announced that he will end two advisory councils. But it seems; the decision may not have been entirely his own.
Two advisory councils - started in January by the American President - the Manufacturing Council and the Strategy & Policy Forum, were dissolved on Wednesday. "Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!"
The exodus of managers over the past few days suggests that the dissolution of the councils was not necessarily what Trump wanted.
