Goldman Sachs CEO tweets for the first time, slams Trump’s Paris decision

Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfien, arguably the most powerful man in Wall Street, sent his first-ever tweet on Thursday — and he took the opportunity to lob criticism at President Trump’s decision to back out of the Paris Climate pact.

“Today’s decision is a setback for the environment and for the U.S.’s leadership position in the world. #ParisAgreement,” he said.

The company confirmed to CNNMoney that it was Blankfein’s first Twitter post.

This isn’t the first time the powerful Wall Street exec has taken Trump on. Blankfein openly opposed the president’s controversial travel ban, and he voiced support for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.
