Interview with news agencyAPDuring a visit to Ivory Coast on April 17, Ivanka Trump said her father, President Trump, asked her if she would be interested in a leadership position at the World Bank, but she declined. She said she was "very happy with my current job" as a White House adviser.
Ivanka then participated in the selection process for the new president of the World Bank, American economist David Malpass. The daughter of the White House believes that Mr. Malpass will do very well in this position.
Last week, in an interview with the news agencyThe AtlanticPresident Trump also confirmed that he considered appointing his daughter Ivanka Trump to various leadership positions, including President of the World Bank.
“I was considering Ivanka for the World Bank. She would be a great fit for that job because she’s great with numbers. She has a great calmness… I’ve seen her under tremendous pressure and stress. She handles it very well, and that’s often genetic,” President Trump said in an interview published on April 12.
Ivanka Trump is the eldest daughter of President Donald Trump and his first wife, former Czech model Ivana Trump.
Not only participating in major business activities in her father's company, this 35-year-old beauty also tries her hand in the field of fashion design. Her shoes, clothes, and jewelry products all sell well in the US.
Ivanka was also by her father's side throughout his run for the White House. She is currently an unpaid senior adviser to her father with her own office in the White House.
