“The move, which was announced in December of last year, comes after his vow to hire thousands refugees in response to President Donald Trump’s first travel ban appeared to hurt customer sentiment and dent their sales.
Trump supporters have called for a boycott of the chain since January 29, when Schultz vowed to hire 10,000 refugees over five years.”
In December of 2016 Howard Schultz announced he would step down as Starbuck’s CEO.
In January of 2017 Starbucks announced it would hire 10,000 refugees in its stores around the world.
In does not appear that Starbucks’ announcement to hire refugees had anything to do with Schultz’s announcement that he was stepping down.

Yep, my first thought as well. Typically garbled Daily Mail reporting. They are truly incapable of coherent reporting.
