Trump’s Economic Policy Adviser Resigns

It is the latest resignation in a series of high-profile departures from President Trump’s team. There has been speculation that Mr Cohn, a supporter of free trade, was angered by Mr. Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on aluminium and steel imports. In a statement released by the White House, Mr Cohn said it had been “an honour to serve my country”. The 57-year-old former president of the Goldman Sachs bank had helped Mr Trump push through his sweeping tax reforms late last year.
