Ivanka Trump Takes Spotlight at Davos, Ahead of Cabinet Members
Gatherings like the World Economic Forum give the presidents adviser and daughter a chance to meet the worlds power brokers, who have come to acknowledge her influence in the White House.
DAVOS, Switzerland If the World Economic Forum gave President Trump a break from his political and legal troubles at home, for his eldest daughter it presented another opportunity to stride across the world stage.
Ivanka Trump, a White House adviser, was presented at this conference of global elites as a principal second only to her father, even as she traveled as part of a delegation that included all of the presidents most important economic advisers.
She shared top billing with Mr. Trump Wednesday morning at a breakfast for corporate executives, including the chief executive of Apple, Tim Cook, which she co-hosted with the president and helped organize. There, she took precedence over four cabinet members and the presidents top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, who were also in attendance.
She also organized Mr. Trumps dinner meeting Tuesday night with global chief executives, and participated in a bilateral meeting with the prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. She sat for an interview with the Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, and she was the sole adviser Mr. Trump mentioned by name during his 30-minute speech on Tuesday.
Under Ivankas leadership, our Pledge to Americas Workers has become a full-blown national movement, Mr. Trump said, referring to an effort to get employers to expand worker retraining.
It was a ringing endorsement in front of a moneyed crowd for a program a set of pledges that so far are more promised than realized that Ms. Trump has been championing for the past year in lower-profile appearances across the country. After a difficult first year in Washington, during which Ms. Trump struggled to find her lane, the challenges faced by the American worker have given her what she describes as a passion project.
