CEOs Of 3M And Campbell Soup Latest To Resign From Trump’s Manufacturing Council

Trump’s manufacturing council is crumbling before his eyes. 

Two more CEOs have resigned from Donald Trump’s manufacturing council in the wake of his statements Tuesday claiming that white supremacists and those protesting them are equivalent.

3M CEO resigns

On Wednesday the CEO of 3M Inge Thulin announced his resignation from the Trump Council in a statement saying he believes the council is “no longer an effective vehicle.”

“I joined the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative in January to advocate for policies that align with our values and encourage even stronger investment and job growth – in order to make the United States stronger, healthier and more prosperous for all people,” Thulin said in a statement.

“After careful consideration, I believe the initiative is no longer an effective vehicle for 3M to advance these goals.”

Here is Thulin’s first statement:

Campbell CEO resigns from Trump’s manufacturing council

CNBC reports that Campbell Soup CEO Denise Morrison has also resigned from Donald Trump’s manufacturing initiative.

“Racism and murder are unequivocally reprehensible and are not morally equivalent to anything else that happened in Charlottesville,” Morrison said in a statement.

“I believe the President should have been – and still needs to be – unambiguous on that point.”

“Following yesterday’s remarks from the President, I cannot remain on the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative. I will continue to support all efforts to spur economic growth and advocate for the values that have always made America great.”

The announcement from the 3M and Campbell CEOs comes on the heels of announcements from Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, Scott Paul of the Alliance for American Manufacturing and the President of the AFL CIO union who all stepped down in the past three days.
