Strategic and Policy Forum

The President's Strategic and Policy Forum was a business forum created by former U.S. president Donald Trump to give the president perspectives from business leaders on how to create jobs and improve growth for the U.S. economy. It consisted of 16 members chaired by Stephen A. Schwarzman, the co-founder of private equity firm The Blackstone Group, and started holding gatherings in February 2017.[1]

Following the withdrawal of several members, on August 16, 2017, Trump disbanded the Strategic and Policy Forum as well as the American Manufacturing Council.[2][3]
