IVANKA TRUMP?S ?MASSIVE? NEW FUND COULD BE AN ETHICAL MINEFIELD
An initiative to empower female entrepreneurs, inspired by the First Daughter, is already raising questions.
Just hours after she received a chilly reception during a women?s panel in Berlin, Ivanka Trump was reported to have given a scoop to Axios?s Mike Allen. ?Ivanka Trump told me yesterday from Berlin that she has begun building a massive fund that will benefit female entrepreneurs around the globe,? he wrote in a brief news item Wednesday morning. ?Both countries and companies will contribute to create a pool of capital to economically empower women.?
A source told Allen that the fund had already received financial commitments from ?Canadians, Germans and a few Middle Eastern countries? to provide capital to women building small- and medium-sized companies.
