WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top White House economic adviser Gary Cohn, a Wall Street banker who became a key architect of the 2017 tax overhaul and a bulwark against protectionist forces within the Trump administration, is resigning, the White House said on Tuesday.
Cohn’s resignation came after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would impose hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports in a move that would hit close allies Canada and Mexico. Trump’s pledge to impose tariffs had prompted speculation Cohn might leave the White House because of his opposition to the policy.
