Berlin, April 25 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, faced a tough audience in the German capital after defending her father, calling him a "tremendous champion of supporting families."
Ivanka, who is now a White House adviser, was speaking about her father's attitude toward women during a high-profile women's panel in Berlin on Tuesday. During Ivanka’s remarks praising her father, the audience began to boo her, prompting the panel’s moderator to ask Ivanka to elaborate on her comments.
Trump was repeatedly criticized during his presidential campaign for his inflammatory language against Muslims, immigrants, women and other groups.
The first daughter said she has heard criticism from the media and said her goal in her father's administration is "incremental positive change."
Ivanka was met with skepticism in Germany, which views the new U.S. administration with suspicion and fear and is unsure of what to make of the first daughter.
“What does a daughter with no political experience have to do in the White House?” said Andrea Seibel, an opinion editor at Die Welt, the influential conservative-leaning Berlin daily.
