Ivanka Trump was observed in New York City on Wednesday, attending a business meeting in Manhattan. She was photographed exiting an office building and entering a waiting SUV, dressed in a pale green Sandro pantsuit with white heels. She also carried a tote bag bearing the logo of the company Backlot, which specializes in connecting film and television productions with commercial real estate.
This appearance follows recent comments from Trump, 44, about embracing a "new chapter" after stepping away from public service and relocating from Washington, D.C., to Miami. She previously served as a senior adviser to her father during his first term as president. "Now I'm in a new chapter of my life," she told podcaster David Senra, adding that she understands the intensity of public service and is not willing to make her children bear the sacrifice of serving again. She expressed a desire to focus on driving change from the private sector.
In 2023, Trump co-launched Planet Harvest, a for-profit organization aimed at connecting farmers and retailers to maximize the distribution of fresh produce. This venture contrasts with the public service involvement of her husband, Jared Kushner, who has held significant roles in the Trump administration and has been involved in peace negotiations.
In recent weeks, Trump has shared glimpses of her personal life on social media, documenting summer activities. This has included vacations and family time, with photos showing her and Kushner on a yacht and enjoying various summer pursuits. Earlier this month, she posted images from a trip to Iceland, including pictures of herself in swimwear and with her husband.
During her time in the White House, Ivanka Trump focused on initiatives such as combating human trafficking and advocating for paid family leave. Her recent activities suggest a continued engagement with business ventures and a focus on private endeavors outside of government roles.
