President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that he had disbanded two councils of corporate executives advising him on manufacturing and the U.S. economy, marking a major break between the White House and Wall Street following the president’s controversial comments about the recent incident in Charlottesville, Va.

In the days since the neo-Nazi demonstrations there, nine corporate leaders -- including Merck CEO Ken Frazier and Intel CEO Brian Krzanich — had fled Trump’s two teams. Some specifically called attention to Trump’s rhetoric after the president attributed the violence to “many sides,” rather than denouncing white supremacy.
