President Trump's top economic advisor Gary Cohn resigned this week, which is the third resignation that the Trump administration has seen in the past month. To date, seven of President Trump's twelve most senior advisors have either resigned, been fired, or been reassigned.
Citing growing differences on economic policies and, specifically, the
plan to impose a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum imports, Cohn stated that he felt it best to resign from the administration. The tariffs will take effect in 15 days and include exemptions for Canada and Mexico.
