Ivanka Trump is quickly learning that her father's influence as President of the United States can be incredibly profitable. While Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, China approved pending trademarks for Ivanka's business. Ivanka also advises the president with respect to Chinese issues, while simultaneously profiting from business there. This creates a conflict of interest, and Ivanka must recuse herself from advising Trump on Chinese policy, otherwise we have no idea whether or not she will be pushing for policies that would benefit her business.
