• President Trump posted a photo Wednesday of himself and several Goya products in the Oval Office.
• Trump posted the photo as his daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump faced backlash for posting a separate photo of herself posing with a can of Goya beans.
• Goya CEO Robert Unanue recently praised Trump, saying the US was "truly blessed" to have him as a leader.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday posted a photo of himself promoting Goya products from the Oval Office.

In the photo, Trump is shown seated behind his desk and giving two thumbs-up. Displayed before him on the desk are Goya kidney beans, seasoning, white beans, coconut milk, and chocolate wafers.

Trump posted the photo about 2 p.m. on Wednesday, as his daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump faced backlash for posting a separate photo of herself posing with a can of Goya beans.

"If it's Goya, it has to be good," reads a caption alongside Ivanka Trump's photo, which was posted to her social-media accounts late Tuesday. The post included a translation: "Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno."

Critics accused Ivanka Trump of violating federal ethics laws that prohibit federal employees from using their positions "to endorse any product, service or enterprise."

The White House endorsements of Goya come after the chief executive of the company, Robert Unanue, praised Trump, saying the US was "truly blessed" to have him as a leader. Unanue's remarks inspired calls for a boycott against Goya, as well as a countercalls for Trump supporters to buy more of the beans.
