WASHINGTON, April 14 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's son Eric, who oversees the family business empire, will accompany the U.S. president on his trip next month to China, a spokeswoman for the family organization told Reuters on Tuesday.
Eric Trump is executive vice president of the Trump Organization, overseeing investments spanning real estate, golf and blockchain.
Trump had criticized his Democratic predecessor, President Joe Biden, for allowing his son Hunter to accompany him to China when Biden was vice president. He accused the younger Biden of using his influence to secure China's financial backing for his investments.
In 2019, Trump publicly invited China to open an investigation into his political rivals. The Biden family has denied wrongdoing.

This is far from the first time that Ivankas Chinese trademarks have raised ethics questions. In May 2018, Ivanka Trumps business received approval for several new Chinese trademarks a week before President Trump announced that he wanted to lift the ban on the Chinese company ZTE, for violating US sanctions. In 2017, the business received three new Chinese trademarks on the same day she dined with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
