President Donald Trump has changed his mind about a planned Advisory Council on Infrastructure, the White House said in a statement Thursday.
"The President's Advisory Council on Infrastructure, which was still being formed, will not move forward," according to the White House pool report.
The council, which was created by a Trump executive order in July, would have recommended the president spend up to $1 trillion renovating roads, bridges and other public works.
The action came a day after Trump announced he was disbanding two business advisory councils amid a flurry of resignations by members rejecting his remarks about a deadly hate rally in Charlottesville, VA last weekend.
Trump set up the manufacturing council in January to get advice from business leaders about revitalizing that industry -- a major focus of his campaign.
The Strategic and Policy Forum, separate from the manufacturing council, was a group of business executives tapped to advise Trump on the economy.
The business advisory council defections were prompted by Trump's reactions to a white supremacist rally that left one woman dead and nearly 20 others injured after a car rammed into counter-protesters.
