Uber CEO Travis Kalanick received some backlash after his employees were seen driving to JFK after taxi drivers protested Donald Trump's executive order on immigrants last weekend. Now, Kalanick is planning to step down from Trump's economic advisory council, which he explained in an email obtained by the NY Times.
“Earlier today I spoke briefly with the president about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community. I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. 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.”
