| Description | Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has quit President Donald Trump's American Manufacturing Council, he announced in a Monday statement.
"I resigned to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing," Krzanich wrote.
Krzanich isn't the first CEO to exit one of Trump's advisory councils. Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier also quit on Monday in response to the Charlottesville attacks, prompting a mocking tweet from Donald Trump. Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank also quit on Monday.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Disney CEO Robert Iger quit Trump advisory councils in June to protest Trump's decision to leave the Paris Accords on climate change. In February, former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick quit Trump's business advisory council in the face of a consumer boycott related to Trump's immigration policies. |
