BERLIN—Ivanka Trump said on Tuesday she was still in the process of defining her role as an informal White House adviser to her father Donald, and wanted to use her influence to help empower women.
During a podium discussion in Berlin at a women’s summit organised by the Group of 20 major economies, Trump said she was still defining how she could make an impact and trying to learn from others.
Asked whether she represented the president, the American people or her business, she replied: “Well certainly not the latter, and I am rather unfamiliar with this role as it is quite new to me too, it has been a little under 100 days.”
She later added: “This is very early for me. I’m listening, I’m learning, I’m defining the ways in which I think that I'll be able to have impact. I’m seeking the counsel .. . of informed and thoughtful women and men and I’m really striving to think about how best to empower women in the economy, both domestically and across the globe.”
