First daughter Ivanka Trump spoke of women empowerment to a small group of accomplished Saudi women during her father's first foreign trip as president. "Saudi Arabia’s progress, especially in recent years, is very encouraging. But there’s still a lot of work to be done," Ivanka Trump. The first lady and Ivanka are often the only two women present in the public meetings with Saudi officials. Neither Melania Trump nor Ivanka wore a headscarf during the trip, following example of previous presidential spouses.
