Abidjian: The White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump says her father asked her if she was interested in the job of World Bank chief but she passed on it.
In an Associated Press interview, President Donald Trump’s daughter said on Wednesday she was happy with her current role in the administration. She was traveling in Africa to promote a global women’s initiative.
Ivanka Trump said her father raised the job as “a question” and she told him she was “happy with the work” she’s doing.
Daughter of US President Ivanka Trump says she passed on World Bank job chief:
The president recently told The Atlantic: “I even thought of Ivanka for the World Bank. . She would’ve been great at that because she’s very good with numbers.”
Ivanka Trump worked on the selection process for the new head of the 189-nation World Bank, David Malpass.
She said he’ll do an “incredible job.”
