"In Washington DC this week at the 155th gathering, as clouds swirled around the Capitol building just steps away, senators from both parties and some top Trump administration officials joined us. They had to face down the near unanimous verdict from over 100 top business leaders, representing some of the world's largest companies and most iconic brands: Trump's policies aren't working."
"They see what's happening as a hollowing out of U.S. economic foundations and institutions. In this free-to-speak environment (a loaded topic these days), they said that while they approve of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and bolstering economic and national security, they fear for America's international standing amid the degradation of national security at the FBI, the CIA, and the Pentagon."
Over 100 top business leaders, including Fortune 500 CEOs and some senators and administration officials, judged that current presidential policies are failing based on business results. The leaders emphasized that concerns were independent of personal politics or industry sector and repeatedly returned to the bottom line. They warned that policies favoring short-term gains are undermining an economic system built over decades, hollowing out U.S. economic foundations and institutions. While many approve of reshoring manufacturing and strengthening economic and national security, they fear degradation of the FBI, CIA, and Pentagon and a loss of America's international standing.
