Robert Unanue, the CEO of Goya Foods, was invited to the White House on Thursday and made remarks praising President Donald Trump.
During the event, Trump signed the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative, an effort for greater educational and economic opportunities for the Hispanic community.
Goya is a staple in Latino households, and Unanue was invited as the CEO of the brand popular among Hispanic people. He was asked to address his remarks when he started to praise Trump.
“We are all truly blessed to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said. “And so we have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country, that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”
