Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has quit President Donald Trump’s economic advisory council, Yahoo Finance has learned.
Uber’s chief executive disclosed the decision in a memo to employees on Thursday, obtained by Yahoo Finance. Kalanick said he withdrew from Trump’s advisory board in a brief conversation with Trump on early Thursday.
“Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that,” Kalanick explained to employees in the memo.
