US President Donald Trump and his daughter and advisor Ivanka have been criticized for endorsing a Hispanic food company on social media, BBC reports.
The pair shared images of themselves holding Goya Foods products earlier this week, with the president saying it was “doing GREAT”.
It comes after the head of Goya expressed his support for Donald Trump, prompting calls to boycott the company.
The Trumps’ actions have raised concerns over ethics violations.
In a tweet on Tuesday, the president’s daughter posted a picture of her holding a can of Goya black beans with the company’s slogan – “If it’s Goya, it has to be good” – in English and Spanish.
The president later tweeted, without citing evidence, that “Goya Foods is doing GREAT. The Radical Left smear machine backfired, people are buying like crazy!”. An image of him posing with various Goya products was also shared on his Instagram account.
