A leading U.S. hospital pulled its annual fundraiser from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday, reversing course after initially resisting pressure from health professionals and others over the president’s support for repealing the Affordable Care Act and cutting federal budget dollars to medical research.
The Cleveland Clinic said in a statement that it decided not to hold the event there after “careful consideration” of a number of issues, with a spokeswoman adding only that the deliberations were “all encompassing.”
