Trump's contested pick for labor secretary withdraws
US President Donald Trump
Washington - Arab Today
US President Donald Trump's pick for labor secretary Andrew Puzder withdrew from consideration Wednesday, the White House said, amid concerns about his business record and controversies about his personal past.
"While I won't be serving in the administration, I fully support the president and his highly qualified team," the fast-food executive said in a statement to US media.
Concern swelled in recent months about Puzder's positions on the minimum wage. He also admitted he had failed to pay taxes on an undocumented employee.
