| Welcome to Finance Insider, Business Insider's summary of the top stories of the past 24 hours. A couple of weeks ago, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, a Hillary Clinton supporter, was asked whether he wished he had backed Donald Trump. "So, in hindsight, do you wish you had backed the other horse, then?" Joe Kernen of CNBC asked him in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "Or do you like more regulation and higher taxes?" "But there's other things, there's other factors at work here, too," the Goldman Sachs CEO responded. This weekend's events made that clear. The decision by Donald Trump to sign an executive order barring refugees from entering the US, led to outcry both in Washington and Silicon Valley. Starbucks responded by committing to hiring 10,000 refugees over five years. Ford's CEO Mark Fields told Business Insider the company does "not support this policy." And thousands of people have protested at cities and airports around the country. JPMorgan had to reach out to employees who might be impacted by the order over the weekend, and has set up a hotline for those who think they might be affected. Blankfein, who has been consistent in his concerns over Trump's presidency, sent a memo to staff vowing to minimize any disruption resulting from the order. Mike Corbat, CEO of Citigroup, said "we are concerned about the message the executive order sends."
