New York: Global investment bank Goldman Sachs on Monday joined the growing list of big US companies criticising President Donald Trump's executive order suspending entry into the United States by people from seven predominantly Muslim countries - Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen.
Lloyd Blankfein, chief executive of Goldman Sachs - which has provided several senior Trump administration officials - sent a voice mail to employees on Sunday night outlining his concerns, according to the text of the call obtained by AFP.
"This is not a policy we support, and I would note that it has already been challenged in federal court, and some of the order has been enjoined at least temporarily," he said.
Mr Blankfein said he was working to minimize potential disruption to the firm's staff and "focused on supporting our colleagues and their families who may be affected."
Sometimes nicknamed "Government Sachs," Mr Trump has continued the pattern of appointing top current or former Goldman executives to top administration jobs, despite lambasting practice and the firm specifically in his campaign.
