Trump confirmed that he considered nominating his eldest daughter for a vacancy leading the World Bank, a rumor that drew backlash from the president’s opponents.
“I even thought of Ivanka for the World Bank,” the president said, noting “she would’ve been great at that because she’s very good with numbers.”
Her portfolio now focuses on issues like workforce development, family leave and women's empowerment. But she has appeared on the world stage before, notably sitting in for her father once at the G-20 Summit and meeting with foreign dignitaries after the abrupt firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last year.
But Trump still asserted that if his daughter ever had the ambition, she could potentially follow in his footsteps and mount her own presidential run.
