Trump's elder girl and second child has been described as her father's most influential adviser and it was confirmed last month that she will get an office in the West Wing. She and her husband Jared Kushner are constantly portrayed as a kind of collective voice of calm, poise, and reason, who are prevailing over the tempestuous Stephen Bannon and his efforts to push President Donald Trump over the edge of the precipice of extremism.
Ivanka Trump joined her husband as an advisor to her father, US President Donald Trump. And in some ways, she is just as culpable as he in pushing this White House into unprecedented ethical territory. "She has retained authority to direct the trustees to terminate agreements that she determines create a conflict of interest or the appearance of one".
In the story titled "Trump weirdly says Korea was part of China, which is totally wrong and could enrage South Korea", Quartz reported that Trump quoted Xi as making the remark during the summit. Three of those approvals were granted April 6, the day Ivanka Trump and her husband sat next to Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife for dinner at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Kushner has also raised several questions over conflict of interest, as a report last month emerged stating that his family's company was set to receive £330 million from a Chinese firm in a deal over a NY office tower.
But her fame and fandom has meant that hundreds of copycat Chinese companies have tried to cash in on her brand.
But the most far reaching potential conflict of interest may be that of Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.

Trump also spoke with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, a close USA ally, Monday morning in Tokyo, Abe told reporters. The State Department said Sunday that it remains committed to directly addressing the North Korean nuclear threat.
Following her father's election victory in November, Ivanka became one of the world's most recognized faces, which translated into her brand booming globally. She has put her business in a trust, run by family members. But the Trump family's situation is unprecedented due to their vast business holdings. Her "high-visibility role", NPR reported, "could stir up questions about whether her White House presence could be seen as promoting her products as people try to curry favor with her". China will also grant trademark rights to Ivanka Trump in exchange for the opportunity to actually manufacture all of her merchandise and then sell it back to the United States at variable discount rates denominated in renminbi. But King, who voted for Hillary Clinton, said she believes Trump's role in the White House represents a conflict of interest.
Ivanka formally stepped down from managing her company in mid-January, but she still owns and profits from it.
"Ivanka has so many China ties and conflicts, yet she and Jared appear deeply involved in China contacts and policy".
Ivanka Trump recently assumed an official role in her father's administration. After media reports about the deal, talks were called off. The two also attended a Lunar New Year celebration at the Chinese embassy in Washington. At Mar-o-Lago, the president's granddaughter sang for President Xi because, Ivanka Trump can be heard saying in the video, "we wanted you to feel at home".
In addition, China also agreed to help persuade the recalcitrant hermit kingdom of Kim Jong Un to open the North Korean market to Ivanka Trump goods.
