WASHINGTON (AFP) - The daughter of US President Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, got a spot at America s highest table on Monday when her father was meeting the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and businesswomen from the two countries.
Ivanka Trump sat next to the 45-year-old Canadian PM in the White House Cabinet Room, and opened the discussion after both leaders had spoken. Her photo next to Trudeau got international hype on social media.

The appearance comes amid questions over the separation of Trump family businesses from the official roles of the president and his relatives. Ivanka was pictured sitting on the presidential chair in White House while Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau stand beside her.
Trump last week tweeted that Ivanka had been "treated so unfairly" by Nordstrom, an upscale department store chain that dropped her fashion brand.
Moreover, a Trump aide is facing possible investigation after pitching the president s daughter s fashion brand on television. Some even saw the funny side of the photo.
