Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has become the third top business leader to step down from President Trump’s manufacturing council on Monday.
He follows the chiefs of Merck and Under Armour, who announced their decisions earlier Monday amid the fallout over Trump’s response to violence over the weekend at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“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 in a blog post.
