The meeting was the latest as part of Trump's Strategic and Policy economy forum that also included Tesla, Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, reported the Detroit News. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick resigned from the panel on Thursday amid protests over Trump's refugee travel ban that was blocked by a federal judge late Friday, reported the Associated Press.
