Over the past two days, four top executives quit President Donald Trump’s American Manufacturing Council in protest against his tepid response to a deadly attack by an accused white supremacist following a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Mark Weinberger, CEO of the professional services firm EY, put out a similar statement against hate. His spokesman told HuffPost, “There is also no change to Mark’s participation in the forum.”Adebayo Ogunlesi, the chairman and managing partner of the $40 billion investment fund Global Infrastructure Partners, declined to comment. “At this time, his status has not changed,” she told HuffPost. But he indicated that he plans to stay on the Strategic and Policy Forum, according to The New York Times.
