Nikki Haley Leaves Boeing’s Board in Protest Over Bailout

Nikki Haley, President Donald Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations, is leaving Boeing Co.’s board after less than a year, saying she opposes the planemaker’s decision to seek a U.S. bailout amid the coronavirus crisis.

“I cannot support a move to lean on the federal government for a stimulus or bailout that prioritizes our company over others and relies on taxpayers to guarantee our financial position,” Haley said in a March 16 letter that Boeing disclosed Thursday. “I have long held strong convictions that this is not the role of government.”
