Ivanka Trump is set to launch a White House effort aimed at women’s global economic empowerment in early 2019.
A formal launch for the initiative was planned for next week but has been postponed amid uncertainty about the government shutdown, the White House said Monday. The initiative, backed by the State Department and the National Security Council, seeks to align government agencies behind the mission of supporting women’s economic development around the world. It will also include private-sector investment.
First daughter Ivanka Trump, a White House adviser, led the policy process over the past year and a half.
