Ivanka's "brand" and foreign countries

With the reports of her making some deals in China....doesn't THAT conflict with what was said in this article? And...WTF is with the "we can't eliminate conflicts in EVERY WAY".

However, the question of what to do with her eponymous business is somewhat complicated. Ivanka's attorney, Jamie Gorelick reportedly said that there is no way to make it entirely conflict-free. “The one thing I would like to be clear on: we don’t believe it eliminates conflicts in every way,” Gorelick told Politico. “She has the conflicts that derive from the ownership of this brand. We’re trying to minimize those to the extent possible."

In order to mitigate those conflicts, Ivanka is placing the brand in a trust to be run by her brother-in-law Josh and her sister-in-law, Nicole. They will reportedly be prohibited from "entering the brand into any agreements with foreign countries or agencies" and from "using her image to sell the brand."
