Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is facing criticism online for his relationship with President Donald Trump after the administration imposed a temporary ban on travel to the United States from seven majority Muslim countries.
Kalanick said in a Sunday Facebook post that the ban could hurt "thousands" of Uber drivers and he will raise his concerns directly with the president during a Friday business advisory group meeting in Washington.
But the co-founder of the ride-sharing service is being criticised for agreeing to sit on the advisory panel. Twitter users are encouraging riders to #DeleteUber.
The company is also accused of transporting passengers to JFK Airport in New York after taxi drivers implemented a ban to protest Trump's travel restrictions.
Kalanick said in his Facebook post that he's emailing Uber drivers, telling them he would "urge the government to reinstate the right of US residents to travel - whatever their country of origin - immediately."
