Target's chief executive officer Brian Cornell met civil rights campaigner Rev. Al Sharpton on Thursday as the American retail giant grapples with falling customer footfall and a growing boycott threat following its controversial retreat from diversity programmes.
Describing his meeting with Cornell as 'very constructive and candid', Sharpton said in a statement: 'I am going to inform our allies, including Rev. Dr Jamal Bryant, of our discussion, what my feelings are.'
