Tammy Baldwin said at the time Primus was fired that it looked like Trump was trying to stack the board so it will rubberstamp the Union Pacific merger.Since then, Trump has said the merger sounds good to him after he met with Union Pacific’s CEO in the Oval Office last month.Primus was the only board member to oppose Canadian Pacific’s acquisition of Kansas City Southern railroad when it was approved two years ago because he was concerned it would hurt competition, which remains a concern for him though he hasn’t taken a position on the UP-NS deal. He was named board chairman last year by former President Joe Biden and led the board until Trump, after his election, elevated Republican Board member Patrick Fuchs to chairman.
