Donald Trump’s Strategic and Policy Forum, a group made up of business leaders from various industries, has reportedly disbanded. CNBC says the group has agreed to terminate as a whole, which is distinct from what’s occurring with Trump’s manufacturing council, where leaders are leaving one-by-one, including 3M and Campbell’s Soup CEOs who left earlier today.

The Strategic and Policy Forum included one high-profile tech executive: Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM. Rometty previously defended her continued position on Trump’s council as a continuation of IBM’s direct engagement with the U.S. Presidency, which she noted has occurred with every administration since Woodrow Wilson. It also included GM CEO Mary Barra.
