Top executives have broken with President Donald Trump.
In a private phone call Wednesday afternoon, CEOs who were part of a strategic council to Trump agreed to disband the group and condemn Trump's confrontational response to a violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"There really was nothing to debate," said one member of the forum, who described the president's fiery Tuesday news conference as a "tripwire."
Shortly after CNBC and other broke the news that the council was disbanding, Trump took to Twitter to say he was ending that forum and another featuring manufacturing leaders. By the time Trump made his statement, several executives had left the manufacturing group this week. Source
