Instead of Donald Trump, his daughter Ivanka sat at the big table at the G20 summit in Hamburg for a while, surrounded by national leaders. The situation may have been unusual, but her sitting there when her father had to attend bilateral meetings did make sense.

A photo of Ivanka sitting at the main table was posted on Twitter by Svetlana Lukash, a member of the Russian delegation to G20. It was deleted shortly after.
