Starbucks is raising wages and offering a new round of benefits for its employees in a move the company’s CEO says was accelerated by President Donald Trump’s tax reforms.

Salaried partner employees will receive a round of raises in April this year, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said Wednesday, according to Business Insider. The raise will be the second one for the year. Starbucks employees already received an annual wage hike in January.
