Ivanka kicks off S America trip promoting women
Ivanka Trump is kicking off her trip to South America by promoting women's empowerment. President Donald Trump's daughter and senior adviser met with female entrepreneurs and police cadets in Colombia on Tuesday.
One of her first stops was to the General Santander Police Academy where 22 cadets were killed in a terror attack earlier this year. Six of the victims had received US government scholarships. Ivanka Trump said the US and Colombia will develop a new peace and security alliance focused on helping women.
She also announced the launch of a leadership academy aimed at equipping women with skills to develop sustainable businesses. Colombia is a key US ally struggling to advance an historic peace deal with leftist rebels and respond to a large influx of Venezuelan migrants.
