The chief executive of tech giant Intel is the latest high-profile figure to quit a group that advises the Trump administration.
Brian Krzanich said he was leaving the President’s manufacturing council because he was concerned about the harm “our divided political climate” is causing to issues such as equality.
He criticised the “many in Washington” who “seem to be more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them”.
It follows the resignations from the same group on Monday of Kenneth Frazier, the black chief executive of pharmaceutical giant Merck, and Kevin Plank, the CEO of Under Armour.
Mr Frazier said he was quitting in the wake of Mr Trump’s initial failure to condemn the far-right for violence in Charlottesville.
Mr Krzanich wrote on the Intel website: “Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base.
