Days ahead of what should be a major moment for Ivanka Trump on the world stage, CNN has learned Secretary of State Rex Tillerson isn't sending a high-level delegation to support her amid reports of tensions between Tillerson and the White House. Ivanka Trump is leading the US delegation this year. Trump was invited by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in June, and this year's theme is supporting women entrepreneurs.
"They (Tillerson and his staff) won't send someone senior because they don't want to bolster Ivanka. It's now another rift between the White House and State at a time when Rex Tillerson doesn't need any more problems with the President," the official added.
A source close to the White House speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the thinner-than-past-years State Department delegation was absolutely being perceived and felt -- by several key people there -- as a snub, and that Tillerson's management style and extremely tight inner circle have rubbed some in the administration the wrong way. The source said the feeling among some within the White House, is that Tillerson and his team are far from eager to throw the support of the State Department behind Ivanka Trump on this trip, which will be her highest-profile appearance yet representing the United States. "Rex doesn't like the fact that he's supposed to be our nation's top diplomat, and Jared and now Ivanka have stepped all over Rex Tillerson for a long time," the source said. "So now, he's not sending senior people from the State Department to support this issue. He's not supporting Ivanka Trump."

You and Prince Poodle wear the same size sweater?
President Trump: Send the Prince and Princess back to their NYC bubble and get some middle class Deplorables in the WH.
Amen.
Michelle Kosinski, CNN talked to a mumbling bum, pushing a shopping basket filled with stuff, on the street in front of the White House.
NewsWeak???
They have less credibility than CNN.
I don’t think it’s fake news that JaVanka are causing internal strife within the administration.
Jared’s having sleepovers with Saudi princes and now Ivanka is supposed to lead a state event to India?
Nah, this is enough. If the President doesn’t send them home, it will be his first truly preventable mistake.
Well, that's a big mistake on the President's part. What SOS could be sidelined by nepotism and not eventually resign?

“No they aren’t”
No they aren’t what? Going to leave? Damage the Presidency? She and Kusher are liberals. She is not her father’s daughter politically.
I saw that fake news.
Remember what Trump said, “the leaks are real, the news is fake”.
And you know her personally?
“And you know her personally?”
No, but I can see what she’s about, and it operates at cross purposes to what her father is trying to do in many cases. She is, a lovely woman, but that does not excuse her actively opposing her father’s agenda. Furthermore, she is not a government official, and neither is her husband.
Her official title is presidential advisor
I trust ztrump.
