Goya Faces Backlash After CEO Praises Trump

Several social media users are boycotting Goya Foods after the company’s CEO praised President Trump at the White House Thursday. Critics say the CEO’s comments are shortsighted given the Trump administration’s history of derogatory comments and actions toward the Hispanic community, particularly regarding the U.S. – Mexico border. Supporters of Goya are defending the brand on social media with the hashtag #BuyGoya, citing the company’s growth as a business in America. Goya Foods are popular in many households, especially within the Hispanic community.
