> The President’s Strategic and Policy Forum was conceived as a bi-partisan group of business leaders called to serve our country by providing independent feedback and perspectives directly to the President on accelerating economic growth and job creation in the United States.

This "Strategic and Policy Forum" existed for the sole purpose of promoting the individual company interests... Such as how to best offshore the work-force, pay less taxes, etc.

This backhanded manipulation and dealings did not work on Trump as well as it did on the previous presidents.

So now they are disbanding (as they serve no purpose), and using this moment to attempt to discredit the person they could not manipulate.

One would assume that the White House would meet with corporate leaders, who undoubtedly have interests with regards to taxes and offshore money or labor laws, to find the intersection of interests.
