The United States may not have a Secretary of State to take care of necessary diplomacy, but we have the perfect stand in, Ivanka Trump.
Last week she went to Peru with her husband to join Vice President Mike Pence for the Summit of the Americas, a meeting of all of the leaders of the 35 nations that make up North and South America. President Trump had been scheduled to attend, but stayed home decided to address the chemical bombing attack in Syria.
Ivanka was
“Excited to join the US Delegation to @SummitAmericas in Peru, where we will discuss the importance of public-private collaboration to promote investment & sustainable development. I look forward to highlighting our women’s economic empowerment efforts in the region.”
After she revealed the details of a new economic program to help empower women of the Americas, she met some heads of state and discussed issues relating to the theme of this year’s conference, “Democratic Governance Against Corruption”, a topic we can be sure she knows much about.
Congress didn’t confirm her for this. And although she isn’t qualified and has no diplomatic experience, her father is the president, so that is all that is needed.
Isn’t that we all got jobs for which we had no qualifications?
Daddy?
