(UTV|COLOMBO) – United States (US) President Donald Trump’s Top Economic Adviser Gary Cohn is resigning, the White House has said.
It is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from President Trump’s team.
There has been speculation that Mr. Cohn, a supporter of free trade, was angered by Mr. Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on aluminium and steel imports.
In a statement released by the White House, Mr. Cohn said it had been “An honour to serve my country”.
The 57-year-old former President of the Goldman Sachs bank helped Mr. Trump push through his sweeping tax reforms late last year.
However, the two were not believed to be close.
