The open letter, signed by more than 350 executives, signals how top executives in the U.S. are feeling bolder about confronting the president. Photo: ReutersTokyo: Hundreds of chief executives and business leaders in the U.S. have signed a letter urging President Donald Trump not to scrap a program known as “Dreamers” that prevents the deportation of young people brought to the country illegally. Vice President Mike Pence said Trump is giving the matter “careful consideration” before making a decision. On the campaign trail, Trump declared the program unconstitutional, but he softened his view considerably after taking office. “We’re gonna show great heart,” Trump said in a February news conference, calling participants in DACA “incredible kids.” Bloomberg
