Ivanka Trump says Africa would inspire her dad

On a trip to Africa to promote women's economic empowerment, Ivanka Trump said Wednesday the White House should be judged by its actions toward a continent that her father has privately disparaged.

In an interview with The Associated Press, the president's daughter and senior adviser pointed to visits to the continent by herself, first lady Melania Trump and others, saying: "Our commitment to Africa is clear."
She added that she hopes President Donald Trump will visit, saying: "I've been deeply, deeply inspired by my trip here. And I think he will be as well."
"I'm very excited about continuing my work to specifically focus on those advocating and advancing the role of women on this continent and beyond."
As she entered the town where the cocoa farm was located, she was surrounded by a cheering, dancing crowd, many people waving signs and wearing shirts with her picture that said "Welcome to Adzope Ivanka Trump."
He thanked her for making the trek to the area, adding that residents will keep it "forever in our hearts."
She worked on the selection process for the new head of the 189-nation World Bank, David Malpass, and declared he would do an "incredible job."
A convert to Judaism, Ivanka Trump said she was concerned about a "rise in anti-Semitism" and said there currently was "less support for Israel than Israel has traditionally experienced."
Asked if she agreed with her father's statements that Democrats had become an "anti-Jewish" party, she said: "I never make categorical statements but certainly there are some who have said things that are not supportive of the state of Israel."
