Resigning divisions of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council also told the president’s failure to single out neo-Nazis and white supremacists for conviction after a violent rally earlier this period in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“The moral foundation of our nation is the justification on which our physical foundation is built,” the council members stated in a society resignation letter.
The resignation letter, acquired by News, also cites Trump’s choice to withdraw from the Paris weather change cooperation and to revoke building measures related to flooding risk.
“Your activities have endangered the security of the country I took an oath to protect,” the report writers tell the president.
The submissions come after Trump dismissed two business advisory committees beginning this month following a wave of resignations by chief executive officers. Those CEOs likewise condemned Trump’s response to the intensity in Charlottesville.
The former infrastructure Council members especially faulted Trump administration efforts to secure the digital security of election systems.
“You have given inadequate attention to the increasing threats to the cyber security of the important systems upon which all Americans depend, including those affecting the systems maintaining our democratic election process,” the letter states.
Former Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly remained an Obama administration attempt to shift federal resources to shore up the cyber security of land and local election infrastructure following Russian efforts to intervene in the 2016 election. Kelly also stuck with an Obama-era choice to label election systems critical foundation an official Homeland Security Department designation that gives it easier to commit federal resources to protect them.
Trump, however, has frequently questioned whether that interference occurred and if Russia was guilty of it.
