Good morning! Ex-NPR chief talks federal funding, economists are backing Carolina Toha for Chile's next president, and Land O'Lakes' CEO is leading one of the most complex issues facing businesses in the Trump era.
- Hard work. Land O'Lakes CEO Beth Ford has long been an advocate for farmers and rural American communities. At the beginning of this year, her advocacy portfolio became even higher-stakes: Just as President Donald Trump took office, Ford took over from Apple CEO Tim Cook as chair of the Business Roundtable's immigration committee.
While the Trump administration has enacted its immigration policy—including mass-scale deportations and questions of legality that have already reached the Supreme Court—Ford has been working to provide the business community's perspective on long-term immigration questions.
