<p>US presidential advisor Ivanka Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to support Goya Foods after the largest Hispanic-owned US food company became the target of a social media boycott campaign sparked by its CEO's effusive praise for President Donald Trump.</p>

<p>"If it's Goya, it has to be good," Ivanka, daughter of Donald Trump, tweeted the company's slogan in English and then repeated it in Spanish on Tuesday night.</p>

<p>Ivanka's tweet, in which she is seen holding a can of Goya's black beans, garnered over 35,000 retweets and 62,000 likes in little over 4 hours.</p>

<p>However, her comments could violate government ethics rules prohibiting the use of public office to endorse products or advance personal business gains. The US Office of Government Ethics did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.</p>

<p>White House adviser Kellyanne Conway was criticised in 2017 after she appeared to break similar federal ethics rules when she said on television that Americans should "go buy Ivanka's stuff."</p>

<p>The White House did not take any disciplinary action against Conway even after calls from the ethics watchdog.</p>

<p>In an interview with Fox News last week, Conway decried the Goya Foods controversy. "It's just a shame that people make everything so politicized, including food," she said.</p>

<p>The hashtags #Goyaway and #BoycottGoya trended on Twitter after Robert Unanue, chief executive officer of the New Jersey-based company, appeared with Trump at the White House on Thursday for the signing of an executive order creating an advisory panel aimed at spurring Hispanic prosperity.</p>

<p>"We're all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder, and that’s what my grandfather did,” Unanue, who is the third generation of his family to run the business, had said.</p>

<p>Trump himself weighed in on the dispute late on Friday, writing on Twitter simply: "I LOVE @GoyaFoods!"</p>

<p>US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka posted a photo on Instagram on Wednesday showing herself wearing a light blue face mask as she posed outside with Republican Leader of the House Kevin McCarthy and Republican Rep. Bruce Westerman from Arkansas.</p>

<p>But while Ivanka's caption encouraged others to follow suit and wear their own masks in public, her father's supporters are not convinced — and are chastising the first daughter, telling her to remove the mask.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The photo shows Ivanka and the two representatives outside. Rep. Westerman wears a suit and surgical mask, Rep. McCarthy has a gray cloth mask, and Ivanka is modeling a pretty blue watercolor mask.</p>

<p>The caption — which Ivanka copied from Rep. McCarthy — reads 'Wear a mask. Plant a tree,' and includes both a tree and a face mask emoji.</p>

<p>Ivanka has been pictured wearing face masks before during the pandemic. She donned a black one while accompanying her father to a photo op outside St. John's Church, after he'd had protesters cleared away with smoke canisters and pepper balls.</p>

<p>This, however, appears to be the first time that she has encouraged others to wear masks too — and Trump voters aren't pleased.</p>

<p>Many criticised her for wearing a mask.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Please do not wear a mask that’s not what we were created to do,' wrote one, while another told her to 'take the mask off.'</p>

<p>'I love POTUS but this mask bs needs to stop,' said another, while others called her 'silly' and 'stupid' and posted sheep emojis.</p>

<p>More comments have poured in, with countless Trump supporters telling her to lose the mask.</p>

<p>'Why are you reppin the mask? Take that off.......' wrote one commenter</p>

<p>'Mask are bs if you where a mask why social distance all bs political bs,' wrote another.</p>

<p>'The administration needs to concentrate more on health, vitamins, and exercise to help fight Covid-19,' said yet another.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'You do not need to wear a mask to plant a tree. Fresh air is much healthier for you than breathing in what is in that mask. Plant a tree while breathing fresh air enjoy mother nature. I am a supporter of you and your family but the mask issue has got to end,' added one more.</p>

<p>Donald Trump's campaign manager Brad Parscale has felt the president's wrath after his Tulsa Rally attracted just a sparse crowd despite claiming that many hundreds of thousands have applied for the ticket.</p>

<p>The BOK Center in the Oklahoma City hosted the president on Saturday, it was his first campaign speech since the coronavirus pandemic. Many seats could be seen empty during the rally.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Arena holds the capacity of 19,000, and according to Trump's campaign, 12,000 people attended the rally. But the actual figures were only 6,200, as per Tulsa fire department said.</p>

<p>According to a CNN report, Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner were angry at Parscale, as he promised a humongous crowd.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this week, Trump had said more than a million people wanted to attend his rally.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a statement, Parscale blamed the low attendance during Tulsa rally on "a week’s worth of the fake news media warning people away from the rally because of COVID and protesters", which he said, "coupled with recent images of American cities on fire, had a real impact on people bringing their families and children to the rally".</p>

<p>Parscale went to criticize the journalists for being critical of Trump's campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For the media to now celebrate the fear that they helped create is disgusting, but typical," he said. "And it makes us wonder why we bother credentialing media for events when they don’t do their full jobs as professionals."</p>

<p>In 2016, Parscale played a huge role in Trump being elected as the President and the pressure is on re-election after Trump wants a reorganisation after bad polling results.</p>

US President Donald Trump's two-day India visit

Ivanka Trump may have gained more followers in India following her visit to India that ended yesterday as the US President Donald Trump and his family left the country last night after a two-day momentous trip to the country.

Ivanka Trump may have gained more followers in India following her visit to India that ended yesterday as the US President Donald Trump and his family left the country last night after a two-day momentous trip to the country. We say Ivanka may have gained more followers as she stuck to Indian designers for her public appearances as she opted for one Indian designer after another. Last night at the Rashtrapati Bhavan for the dinner hosted by the Indian President Ram Nath Kovind, Ivanka Trump chose a beautiful and elegant anarkali dress by Rohit Bal with flower motifs on an off-white background. With bandhgala accentuating her slender frame and neck, Ivanka kept it neat in a loose bun and subtle makeup for the dinner that was attended by the Indian and American delegates. See pictures: View this post on Instagram It was an honor to join President Kovind at a beautiful banquet in honor of @POTUS and @FLOTUS’s visit to India. 🇺🇸🇮🇳 A post shared by Ivanka Trump (@ivankatrump) on Feb 25, 2020 at 9:16am PST × View this post on Instagram Rashtrapati Bhavan, Presidential Palace 🇺🇸🇮🇳 📷 Shealah Craighead, White House A post shared by Ivanka Trump (@ivankatrump) on Feb 25, 2020 at 5:31pm PST × Earlier in the day, Ivanka was seen in a Anita Dongre sherwani in the same colour palette, bringing on the spring cheer. See photo: View this post on Instagram Hyderabad House A post shared by Ivanka Trump (@ivankatrump) on Feb 24, 2020 at 10:20pm PST × On the first day, Ivanka was seen in a printed dress with huge flowers, a lesson in sustainable fashion as she was earlier seen in the dress too.

<p>US President Donald Trump will head to India for a two-day visit with a high-level delegation that will include his senior advisors - daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner.</p>

<p>Sources say US National Security Advisor Robert O' Brien, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin will also be part of the delegation. However, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer who skipped his meeting with the Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goel last week will not be visiting.</p>

<p>Although neither side expects a trade deal to be signed, 5 Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) will be signed during the US president's visit. Nuclear cooperation, homeland security, intellectual property, trade facilitation, space and science technology are likely to be on the agenda.</p>

<p>The government yesterday said that the relationship had to be seen not just in the context of immediate deliverables from this visit.

Gravitas: Ivanka's 'personal relationship' embarasses the Trump administration

<p>Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden says his family members would not engage in any business abroad if he were to win the White House next year, citing the activities of Donald Trump's children as problematic.</p>

<p>But the former vice president defended his son Hunter's work on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, which has become a focus for Republicans in the impeachment probe swirling around Trump.</p>

<p>"They will not be engaged in any foreign business because of what's happened in this administration," Biden said in an interview with "Axios on HBO" that aired Sunday on the cable network.</p>

<p>"No one's going to be seeking patents for things from China. No one's going to be engaged in that kind of thing," he added.</p>

<p>"If you want to talk about problems, let's talk about Trump's family."</p>

<p>During Trump's administration, his daughter Ivanka -- a senior White House aide -- obtained initial approval for a number of trademarks for her fashion label, which has since closed.</p>

<p>The wide-ranging interview was part of a media blitz as the 77-year-old looks to consolidate his position as the frontrunner in the Democratic Party contest to take on Trump in 2020.</p>

<p>Biden was adamant in his defence of his son's work at Burisma, which has been the target of corruption accusations, though Hunter Biden has not been personally accused of criminal wrongdoing.</p>

<p>He admitted, however, he didn't know what Hunter's responsibilities were at Burisma.</p>

<p>"I don't know what he was doing. I know he was on the board. I found out he was on the board after he was on the board and that was it," Biden said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Asked whether he wanted to know more, Biden said, "No. Because I trust my son."</p>

<p>"You know there's not one single bit of evidence, not one little tiny bit, to say anything done was wrong. You know that," a combative Biden added.</p>

<p>Democrats accuse Trump of linking military aid and a White House meeting for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to a request that Kiev investigate Joe and Hunter Biden.</p>

Ivanka Trump remembers Sushma Swaraj, calls her 'champion for women in India and across globe'

<p>It’s not easy to dissociate from one’s in-laws family, especially not if they are the Trumps but Karlie Kloss is doing it one step at a time. In an interview with the British Vogue, Karlie revealed details about her equation with that part of the family and things she is passionate about.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking of her relationship with the Trump family as she got married Joshua Kushner, younger brother of Jared Kushner who is Donald Trump’s son-in-law as he is married to Ivanka Trump said that “it’s been hard”. “But I choose to focus on the values that I share with my husband, and those are the same liberal values that I was raised with and that have guided me throughout my life.”</p>

<p>In an earlier interview,&nbsp;commenting on the Trumps she said, “I’ve chosen to be with the man I love despite the complications,” adding that she and Joshua share a lot of the same values and have “grown together.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>She distances herself from the Trumps, so much so that she doesn't even follow back Ivanka Trump on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karlie has been open about her stance for gun control, support for Hillary Clinton when she was in the race for the US President post and women’s rights. In fact, her husband too took part in the Women’s March after Trump’s inauguration and donated a whopping $50,000 to March For Our Lives after the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, FL.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She identifies herself as a woman who wants to redefine her feminism and even quit from being Victoria's Secret Angel.&nbsp;“I think that was a pivotal moment in me stepping into my power as a feminist, being able to make my own choices and my own narrative, whether through the companies, I choose to work with or through the image I put out to the world,” she said. "I didn't feel [Victoria's Secret] was an image that was truly reflective of who I am and the kind of message I want to send to young women around the world."</p>

WION Global Round-up: Ivanka Trump announces investment for women in Ivory Coast

<p>Ivanka Trump, daughter of the United States President Donald Trump, on Sunday touched down in Ethiopia as part of a government-organized trip to promote the empowerment of women, especially in the ambit of employment and business.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Just landed in Addis Ababa, the diplomatic capital of Africa and the continent's highest city," Trump, who is also an advisor to her father, in a message shared on her Twitter account.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She later joined US Agency for International Development representatives at the Ethiopian Coffee Association (USAID).&nbsp;</p>

<p>"With USAID support, they are overcoming a lack of access to capital and growing their businesses," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first daughter was welcomed to Addis Ababa by the US representative to the African Union, Mary Beth Leonard, and the US ambassador to Ethiopia, Michael Raynor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump met with female coffee entrepreneurs at the Dumoro café in the capital to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing women in the industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the meeting, Trump said she supported initiatives to boost opportunities for women looking to start up business in Ethiopia and announced that a loan of $260,000 would be granted to help the company Azalech Coffee Roasting expand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trumps's entourage took part in a traditional coffee ceremony – the African nation is world-renowned for its quality coffee production.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US State Department said the presidential advisor would visit both Ethiopia and the Ivory Coast between April&nbsp;14-17, along with the director of USAID, Mark Green.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The visit comes as part of Trump's Women's Global Development and Prosperity initiative which aims to help over 50 million women in developing countries improve their economic prospects by 2025.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The program aims to promote new projects, offer training, facilitate financial support and promote reforms to break down gender inequality faced by women, especially in developing nations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is to be financed with public and private funds, with an initial budget of around $50 million allocated by USAID, which came under fire when some interpreted the budget as being the equivalent of just $1 per woman the plan hopes to help.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After White House officials said <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/ivanka-trump-to-help-select-us-candidate-for-world-bank-president-post-white-house-official-190350">President's Trump's daughter and advisor </a>Ivanka Trump was involved in helping to select the next World Bank chief, a report in the New York Times said the Ivanka has backed former Pepsi boss Indra K. Nooyi for the top post.</p>

<p>World Bank’s current president, Jim Yong Kim had announced his resignation and informed that he would be stepping down from the post in February. Kim had decided to leave the post three years ahead of term citing differences with the Trump administration.</p>

<p>The New York Times report said it was "<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/will-cause-third-world-war-if-i-join-politics-indra-nooyi-170655">unclear whether Nooyi would accept</a> the nomination if chosen by the administration" although Ivanka had once tweeted that the ex-Pepsi chief was her “mentor + inspiration”.</p>

<p>However, the report added that<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/trump-administration-immigration-policies-changes-could-substantially-harm-us-competitiveness-ceos-161347"> Nooyi had made "negative comments</a>" against Trump when he was elected president in 2016 during which she did not publicly endorse any candidate, which is being seen as a "possible roadblock".</p>

<p>The report said that Trump’s win, she had said created a lot of questions among her daughters and her employees but later Nooyi tried to clarify her remarks after a PepsiCo spokesman told Fortune magazine that “Mrs. Nooyi misspoke. She was referring to the reaction of a group of employees she spoke to who were apprehensive about the outcome of the election. She never intended to imply that all employees feel the same way.”</p>

<p>"That those past comments may hinder her chances are a reminder that Mr. Trump does not have a large circle of loyalists to choose from for top positions," the report said.</p>

<p>A report from The Financial Times had said earlier that former UN ambassador Nikki Haley was among the candidates for the World Bank post.</p>

<p>The report said the "decision-making process for the top post at the World Bank was fluid" and "initial stages and early front-runners and candidates often fall off the radar".</p>

<p>"Before the president makes his ultimate pick, Trump often makes his own gut decisions about whom to chose," it added.</p>

<p>Under an unwritten agreement, the United States, which is the bank's largest shareholder, has always chosen its leader since the institution was founded following World War II, however, bank's board has said that Kim's successor will be "open, merit-based and transparent."</p>

<p>The World Bank Board had said last week that it would start accepting nominations for a new leader early next month and name a replacement for Kim by mid-April.</p>

<p>The New York Times said US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Ivanka Trump are likely to start the interview process on Tuesday to present President Trump with recommendations for a nominee.</p>

A report from The Financial Times had said earlier that former UN ambassador Nikki Haley was among the candidates for the World Bank post. The report said the "decision-making process for the top post at the World Bank was fluid" and "initial stages and early front-runners and candidates often fall off the radar". "Before the president makes his ultimate pick, Trump often makes his own gut decisions about whom to chose," it added. Under an unwritten agreement, the United States, which is the bank's largest shareholder, has always chosen its leader since the institution was founded following World War II, however, bank's board has said that Kim's successor will be "open, merit-based and transparent." The World Bank Board had said last week that it would start accepting nominations for a new leader early next month and name a replacement for Kim by mid-April. The New York Times said US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and Ivanka Trump are likely to start the interview process on Tuesday to present President Trump with recommendations for a nominee.

Nikki Haley, Ivanka Trump among possible World Bank president nominees: Report

<p>President Donald Trump has agreed to close down his personal charity, the Trump Foundation, the New York attorney general said Tuesday, accusing it of engaging in a "shocking pattern of illegality" to advance his political and business interests.</p>

<p>The Trump Foundation would be dissolved and its remaining assets distributed to other charities under her supervision, attorney general Barbara Underwood said in a statement.</p>

<p>Underwood said there had been a "shocking pattern of illegality involving the Trump Foundation –- including unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more."</p>

<p>"This amounted to the Trump Foundation functioning as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump's business and political interests," she said in a statement.</p>

<p>"This is an important victory for the rule of law, making clear that there is one set of rules for everyone," Underwood added.</p>

<p>The New York attorney general filed a lawsuit against the Trump Foundation in June, accusing it of "persistently illegal conduct."</p>

<p>The suit named the president, sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and daughter Ivanka Trump, who were on the board of the foundation.</p>

<p>"We'll continue to move our suit forward to ensure that the Trump Foundation and its directors are held to account for their clear and repeated violations of state and federal law," Underwood said.</p>

<p>The suit seeks $2.8 million in restitution and to bar Trump, Don Jr, Eric and Ivanka from serving on the boards of other New York non-profits.</p>

<p><strong>Portrait in golf club</strong></p>

<p>According to the suit, Trump used foundation funds to settle lawsuits, promote his Trump-branded hotels, and for personal spending -- including the purchase of a portrait that was displayed at one of his golf clubs.</p>

<p>The civil lawsuit is one of many legal woes facing Trump, whose election campaign is being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for possible collusion with Russia.</p>

<p>Last week, Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in prison for paying hush money to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump and other crimes.</p>

<p>In June, Trump branded the foundation lawsuit a "ridiculous case" drummed up by "sleazy New York Democrats" and vowed to fight it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I won't settle this case!" he tweeted.</p>

<p>The lawsuit painted a picture of habitual misuse of foundation funds for years, signed off on by Trump, who was president of the thinly staffed charity.</p>

<p>Alleged abuses included providing foundation funds to a Florida political campaign; settling a 2007 lawsuit between the City of Palm Beach and Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, and settling a lawsuit by a golfer who took part in a Trump-sponsored charity event in 2012.</p>

<p>There was so little oversight of the foundation, according to the suit, that its board has not met since 1999, despite legal requirements for an annual board meeting to review its finances.</p>
