Ivanka Trump May Play Major Role In U.S.-China Relations

Despite President Donald Trump's constant tweets criticizing China and also his recent comment on Thursday prior to his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, his daughter Ivanka Trump has been publicly affectionate towards the Chinese and has also shown regard toward their culture. Once appointed to the White House, she might soon become a major influence on bilateral ties between the two countries.

The Chinese president will travel to the U.S. next week for his first face to face meeting with Trump at the U.S. president's country club in Florida, Mar-A-Lago. However, prior to the official announcement of the trip, Trump took to Twitter and criticized China for its trade balance with the United States, according to the Guardian.

"The meeting next week with China will be a very difficult one in that we can no longer have massive trade deficits and job losses," Trump wrote in his tweets.

Trump had also rebuked Chinese leaders earlier this month before Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's visit to Beijing.

22. Along with her children, I'm pretty sure there are a couple of recent publicity photos w/ Chinese pe

with Chinese people. I think I remember one photo op stating one of her kids learned Mandarin? language in school. Not sure, I don't follow her 'life' to closely.

5. as with almost every other action/report on the T-Rump reign so far just

try and imagine the outrage by the idiotic right if it was a Democratic President in the WH doing anything remotely similar to what the Rumps are doing on a daily basis

[Botany]

6. Well it only makes sense because of all of the business she does there

7. Imagine if this was a Democratic administration

It is disgusting, all this nepotism and leeching off the government.

Peace

8. Trump's presidency nothing but a money-making scheme.

The whole Trump clan is appallingly ignorant of international relationships and diplomacy--and they have no wish to learn anything. For them, it's all about blackmailing and threatening other countries so they can line their pockets at the expense of the United States. With other countries moving forward on climate change and developing renewable energy technology (creating thousands of jobs in the process), the United States will start losing its leadership position. Add to that the unfriendly rejection of non-whites coming to this country, even for tourism, and the decrease in top international students attending our universities and you have a country starting to decline. Once lost, the role of world leader will not be easily regained.

10. They are the TFEE

and welcome to DU!

9. Oh, Sweet Jesus.

Daddy's little girl is going to act as a diplomat and trade proxy. What could possible go wrong? How in the hell is she in any way qualified ... oh yeah, my bad, sorry. It doesn't matter.

[LuckyLib]

16. Can we be any more outraged by these antics? I think I've become numb, along

with millions of other Americans. The clown show is at full speed at the WH.

[NBachers]

11. I'm very apprehensive about this visit to Mar-a Lago. A security compromise if there ever was one.

[ananda]

12. She has strong business ties there.

This is all about business.

[IdiotsforPalin]

13. This makes about as much sense as.......

appointing Chris Christie to lead the opiate problem

[Sadieck]

14. Or

the school lunch program.

[wordpix]

15. I'll withhold judgment for now since she's a Dem

She was outed I think yesterday, either CNN or MSNBC

Maybe she'll be the ONE person who can think straight in this maladmin

[Dave Starsky]

18. If Ivanka Trump is a Democrat...

then I'm the Southeast Regional Director of the John Birch Society.

You must have heard this news from someone named Ivan or Yuri.

[milestogo]

17. She will give them all cheaply made shoes.

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. So, someone in their mid 30s with no experience in diplomacy and no Senate approval process

is going to play a major role in relations between the 2 largest economies in the world. She has no particular expertise in China, though she does business there - the kind of thing Trump's voters want less of.

This is no way to run a world.

21. USA export beef & dairy* seemed upset at loss of future trade deals the trump admin canceled.

will make Australia/NZ meat & dairy TRADE industry angry if Republicans/trump try some shadow deals to undercut their contracts.

Besides Duarte the killer dictator (home of new 11 mile trump complex for wealthy only) complains about China's island military complex and trump not sending in USA ships.

Only been two months and Republicans have pissed off half the world and many of our ALLIES because of their 'deal maker' president.

Americans will have to pay $20 a gallon for milk and $15lb for ground beef to keep profits high! They better DNA test that meat and milk to make sure its really 'beef' & 'milk' for Americans to eat

President Pence will fix soon?

[Hekate]

23. They'll walk all over her. Gods help us. nt
