US business economists fret over Trump policy agenda

Washington

US business economists worry about the prospects for President Donald Trump's policy agenda, and the potential damage to the economy from his trade and immigration policies, according to a survey released on Monday.

The survey findings add to Mr Trump's accelerating alienation with the business community. CEOs fled his advisory councils last week to distance themselves from his both-sides-are-to-blame response to a white supremacist rally in Virginia in which one woman among a group of counter-protesters was killed.
