"Dear partners, today I am writing to you with deep dismay, a heavy heart and a firm promise." Let me begin by saying: We are all witnesses of the confusion that President Trump has caused on Friday when he announced that people of Muslim background were To prevent entry into the US, including refugees fleeing from the war. " These are the words an open letter from Howard Schulz, CEO of the Starbucks coffee chain, begins in response to President Trump's recent decisions.

As the letter progresses, the group announces that it is pursuing a completely different strategy than the president. As CEO Howard Schulz writes in the letter, 10, 000 refugees will be employed at Starbucks within the next five years.

With this measure, Starbucks wants to set a sign against Trump and provide a solution to the problem of entering refugees instead of discriminating against them. People who are fleeing war, violence and discrimination should be given an employment opportunity. Refugees are to be employed worldwide in all 75 countries with Starbucks outlets.

Other companies are also positioning themselves against Trump with the help of refugees. For example, airbnb wants to provide free accommodation for people in need, and travel agent Lyft has announced a donation of one million dollars (934, 000 euros).
