New White House chief of staff Miller shuts door on big business
Under previous chief of staff Susie Wiles, many CEOs had a channel that helped them soften Trump administration policies or seek favors.
Stephen Miller's appointment as the new White House chief of staff signals a shift in policy, closing the door for many CEOs to influence the Trump administration. Miller's hardline approach is expected to lead to more direct confrontation with businesses during the second half of Trump's term. Despite some CEOs' reservations about Trump's chaotic style and hostility towards trade and immigration, Wiles helped them sway Trump away from aggressive immigration measures.
Now, businesses are uncertain who to turn to, as Miller's focus has been on curbing immigration. This move has left CEOs wondering if Miller would support their stance with Trump.
