白宫幕僚长苏西·怀尔斯被其强硬派副手斯蒂芬·米勒取代，这关上了许多首席执行官用来软化特朗普政府政策或寻求特惠的大门，并为特朗普任期下半期与企业界更直接的对抗奠定了基础。
The replacement of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles with her hardline deputy Stephen Miller shuts the door through which many CEOs softened Trump administration policies or sought favors, and sets the stage for more direct confrontation with business in the second half of Trump’s term.
即使是对特朗普混乱的风格及其对贸易和移民的敌视态度持怀疑态度的首席执行官们，也发现他们在怀尔斯和现已离任的“科技沙皇”戴维·萨克斯的帮助下，能够劝阻特朗普不要采取其助手们最激进的移民举措，从工作场所突击检查到取消TSA预检资格。前小罗伯特·肯尼迪顾问卡利·米恩斯周日在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻节目上抱怨称，怀尔斯帮助大企业挫败了肯尼迪的健康计划。
Even CEOs skeptical of Trump’s chaotic style and his hostility to trade and immigration found that they could, with the help of Wiles and now-former tech czar David Sacks, talk Trump out of his aides’ most aggressive immigration moves, from worksite raids to canceling TSA PreCheck. Former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. adviser Calley Means complained on CBS News Sunday that Wiles helped big business foil Kennedy’s health plans.
一位华盛顿顶级游说人士告诉Semafor，现在首席执行官们不确定该找谁，也不确定职业生涯专注于阻止移民的米勒是否倾向于在特朗普面前站在他们的一边。
Now CEOs are unsure who to call, a top DC lobbyist tells Semafor — and aren’t sure that Miller, whose career focus has been on stopping immigration, is inclined to take their side with Trump.
