Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein Sends Internal Message Against Trump Immigration Ban: WSJ

Lloyd Blankfein, chief executive of Goldman Sachs, on Monday sent an internal message denouncing the immigration ban President Donald Trump enacted last Friday, reports The Wall Street Journal. "This is not a policy we support," Blankfein wrote, according to The Journal. Protests and backlash erupted over the weekend following Trump's executive order that barred Syrian refugees from entering the U.S., blocked citizens of seven Muslim countries from entering the country for 90 days and suspended all refugee admission for 120 days. Trump has tapped a number of former Goldman Sachs executives to his cabinet, including President Gary Cohn to to lead his Council of Economic Advisors and former Goldman Sachs partner Steve Mnuchin to head the Treasury Department.
