Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is facing criticism online for his relationship with President Donald Trump after the administration imposed a temporary ban on travel to the United States from seven majority Muslim countries.
Kalanick said in a Facebook post that the ban could hurt “thousands” of Uber drivers and he will raise his concerns directly with the president during a Friday business advisory group meeting in Washington. But the co-founder of the ride-sharing service is being criticized for agreeing to sit on the advisory panel. Twitter users are encouraging riders to #DeleteUber.
Kalanick defended his participation on Trump’s panel in his Saturday Facebook post, saying he joined out of the “belief that by speaking up and engaging we can make a difference.”
