US business economists fret over Trump policy agenda
Survey finds they also worry about "unfavourable consequences" of Trump's trade and immigration policies
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.
