The American Manufacturing Council was a group of prominent chief executives set up to advise U.S. President Donald Trump on domestic manufacturing initiatives. It was chaired by Andrew Liveris, CEO of Dow Chemical Company.[3]
Following the withdrawal of several members after Trump's defense of alt-right protestors at the Unite the Right Rally,[4] Trump on August 16, 2017 disbanded the Council, as well as the Strategic and Policy Forum.[5] The council itself had earlier informed the president that they intended to disband on their own initiative.[6]
