Another CEO resigned on Wednesday from an advisory council to President Trump over the president’s remarks about violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Inge Thulin, 3M’s chairman of the board, president and CEO, became the ninth business leader — and the sixth since Monday — to resign from Trump’s Manufacturing Advisory Council, following the president’s controversial remarks on neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

The most recent wave of defections followed the president’s controversial remarks equating neo-Nazis and white supremacists with anti-racist protesters.

Thulin said he joined the council to push policies that align with the company’s values and advocate for stronger investment and job growth that would leave the United States “stronger, healthier and more prosperous for all people.” 

“Sustainability, diversity and inclusion are my personal values and also fundamental to the 3M vision,” Thulin said in a statement Wednesday. “After careful consideration, I believe the initiative is no longer an effective vehicle for 3M to advance these goals.”
