Ivanka Trump: We must foster economic opportunity in Latin America
Amid the controversy over the United States’ immigration policies, Ivanka Trump said she agrees with many people on both sides of the political aisle that the nation must help encourage stability, economic growth, and job prospects throughout Latin America. The eldest daughter of President Trump tweeted on Sunday morning that she has already taken steps to cultivate this shared, bipartisan value — namely, by launching 2X Americas in the Peruvian capital of Lima. On April 15, the first daughter announced the creation of 2X Americas, a U.S.-led initiative that is intended to commit $150 million and facilitate a total of $500 million for providing women in Central America and South America with access to capital and other economic opportunities.
