White House adviser Ivanka Trump was all smiles on Saturday afternoon as she prepared to head to Africa to promote a global women's initiative she's leading.
President Donald Trump's daughter was pictured walking through the airport concourse at Dulles airport just outside of Washington D.C.
She is due to visit Ethiopia and Ivory Coast over the next four days and it flying commercial, rather than using U.S. State Department aircraft.
The White House said that her schedule includes a women's economic empowerment summit in Ivory Coast as well as site visits and meetings with political leaders, executives and female entrepreneurs in both countries.
