Last week, a German journalist asked Ivanka Trump a difficult question at the G20 women's summit, where she appeared alongside Angela Merkel and the IMF director, Christine Lagarde.

"Who exactlyare you representing at the event, your father, the American people or your business?”, the first daughter was asked. 

 “Certainly not the latter,” she replied quickly, before admitting: “I am rather unfamiliar with this role as well, as it is quite new to me.”

On Tuesday the real estate and fashion executive turned political adviser will have another platform for her views on women and business as she launches her second book, Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success, which aims to show women how they can “lead meetings and train for marathons … learn how to cook and how to code … inspire our employees and our children”.

Ethic experts are increasingly concerned that despite removing herself from the management of her eponymous Ivanka Trump fashion company and becoming an unpaid government employee in March, her political and business interests are still so closely linked that she is deep in an ethical “danger zone” over conflict of interest laws.
