Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's Senior Team Planning to Skip Ivanka Trump's India Trip
CNN ^ | Fri November 24, 2017 | By Michelle Kosinski, CNN Updated 4:26 PM ET

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."

Ivanka and her husband are going to damage her father’s presidency if they don’t just go back to New York and have kids together.

Fake News.

It’s from CNN, after all.

However - there was some gossip posted earlier that DJT is being pressured to send JaVanka back to New York City.

Which is where they belong.

Tillerson works for Trump. If Trump wants a high level State Department delegation it is not Tillerson’s call.

I am in agreement Jared and Ivanka need to go home to New York. Nepotism has no place in American politics. If Trump can’t do the job without his daughter and son-in-law in the White House everyday, he should resign.

The founders chose a republican form of government over a hereditary monarchy for a reason.

Fake news and if it’s not, Rex needs to hurry up and get his team on the Javanka train.

I wish it was laughable that Jared and Ivanka think they were elected.
