ISLAMABAD – First Daughter Ivanka Trump on Friday shared a photo of herselfalongside David Malpass, the newly-minted World Bank President, with adocument titled “National Security Strategy” visible on a coffee table,according to a screengrab of her Twitter profile page taken by journalistLuke O’Neil.
Ivanka has apparently deleted the image for some reason and re-uploaded aversion where the part with the document has been cut out.
The new tweet, which is still up on her page, says the two were discussingthe Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative, championed by Ivanka and hostedby the World Bank Group.
The paper appears to refer to the United States’ new National SecurityStrategy, which was released in December 2017 and is available on thewebsite of the White House.
