Ivanka Trump turned heads on Saturday at the G20 summit by temporarily taking a seat at the big-kids' table when her father, President Donald Trump, stepped out for a bilateral meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
A White House official said that the younger Trump's fill-in role was nothing out of the ordinary.
The First daughter of the United States, the 35-year-old Ivanka Trump sat at the table with Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Angela Merkel and Theresa May, Trump's enemies pounced.
The official said that when Ivanka stepped up, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim had begun to talk about 'areas such as African development – areas that will benefit from the facility just announced by the World Bank.'
That facility, a women's entrepreneurship empowerment fund, was spearheaded by Ivanka and has grown to $300 million with the help of a $50 million U.S. donation.
