Merck stock value jumps up after CEO leaves Trump council over Charlottesville response https://t.co/VAaDUVFsP0 pic.twitter.com/9EsZIbiZa6— The Hill (@thehill) August 14, 2017
CNN Money reports,
Frazier is one of the country's most prominent black corporate executives and was the only black male CEO named to the council in January.
His exit marks another rebuke to Trump from corporate America. Trump's June 1 decision to leave the Paris climate accord led Tesla CEO Elon Musk to step down from the manufacturing panel as well as a separate business advisory council.
Disney CEO Bob Iger similarly quit the business advisory council, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein used his first-ever tweet to slam Trump's Paris decision.
