US President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump has said he is scrapping two business councils after more bosses quit over his handling of violent clashes in Virginia.
Mr. Trump said: "Rather than putting pressure on the business people of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both."
It comes after the heads of post-it maker 3M and Campbell Soup announced their resignations Wednesday.
Seven business leaders have withdrawn after the far-right rally last weekend.
Businesses have been under pressure to distance themselves from Mr. Trump over his handling of the clashes.
