Ivanka Trump said she turned down her father’s offer to lead the World Bank. She wouldn’t say whether he had approached her about any other jobs in his administration.
The president lavished his oldest daughter with praise in the interview published last week, asserting that she could run for president if she wanted to, and he suggested that he’d considered nominating her to replace Nikki Haley as his U.N. ambassador.
“She would’ve been great at the United Nations,” the president said, indicating that only public scrutiny held him back. “If I did, they’d say nepotism, when it would’ve had nothing to do with nepotism. But she would’ve been incredible.” Ivanka deflected when asked by the AP if her father had approached her about other vacancies in his administration.
“I’ll keep that between us,” she responded. But while her father has talked up her presidential bona fides, calling her a “natural diplomat,” she told the AP she has no plans to run for office in the future.
