President Trump is pulling the plug on two of his economic advisory councils.
In a tweet Wednesday, the president said quote, “rather than putting pressure on the business people of the Manufacturing Council and Strategy and Policy Forum, I am ending both.”
This comes after several executives have stepped down from the president’s Manufacturing Council, which is separate from the Economic Advisory Panels.
President Trump blasted the CEO’s Tuesday, saying he has many others that can take their place.
