On Tuesday, Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul announced his resignation from President Trump's American Manufacturing Council. "I'm resigning from the Manufacturing Jobs Initiative because it's the right thing to do," the representative for U.S. steelworkers tweeted Tuesday morning.
Paul is the fourth person this week to resign from Trump's council — and it's only Tuesday. Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich, and Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank have also quit.
