Ivanka Trump Raises Eyebrows For Filling In At A G-20 Meeting

When she was asked about Ivanka Trump's role, Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said the president's daughter sometimes sits in on meetings if they relate to issues that are among her priorities.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel had enlisted Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, to advance the effort.

To which Clinton swiftly and sassily responded saying that situation would never happen, and won a lot of praise in the process.

The first daughter was on the trip with her husband, Jared Kushner, who also works in the Trump White House. Were you giving our country away?

Donald Trump was barely back in the country following his trip to the G20 summit in Hamburg when fresh allegations about his team's links with Russian Federation surfaced.

Typically a government minister would stand in for a head of state if they were unable to attend such an event, the Washington Post reported.

U.S. President Donald Trump shared the G20 spotlight on Saturday with his daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump, as she helped launch a loan program for women and caused a stir by briefly occupying her dad's seat at the table with world leaders.

But she's been at a lot of her father's presidential meetings - some while she was still running the Trump Organization.

Speaking of criticism, critics were out in force when Ivanka sat in for the president Saturday morning at a G-20 Summit meeting on Africa, health and migration.

"Ivanka Trump belonged to the American delegation, so that is in line with what other delegations do", Merkel said.

The White House, including Trump herself, seems to frequently go back and forth about just how official the first daughter's role is.

Trump's tweet referencing the Clintons on Monday was also another instance of the president bringing up his one-time rival in a presidential election that occurred more than eight months ago.

Ivanka, who serves as an unpaid White House adviser, has yet to publicly address the controversy. Ivanka was seated between British Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

"When other leaders stepped out, their seats were also briefly filled by others". "I might be the only bad thing she has going".
