Over the course of her tenure as special assistant to the president under her father's administration, Ivanka Trump has zeroed in on an agenda, focusing almost exclusively on issues regarding women's entrepreneurship, the child tax credit, and the economy. She remained silent following President Trump's hasty Twitter announcement that transgender people would no longer be allowed to serve in the U.S. military, and she has yet to weigh in on the current conflict with North Korea.
On Tuesday, the Trump Administration blocked the roll out of an Obama rule that would have required companies to submit "summary pay data by gender, race, and ethnicity from businesses with 100 or more employees."

Ivanka voiced her support of the decision in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. “Ultimately, while I believe the intention was good and agree that pay transparency is important, the proposed policy would not yield the intended results,” she said. “We look forward to continuing to work with EEOC, OMB, Congress and all relevant stakeholders on robust policies aimed at eliminating the gender wage gap.”

Under the Obama administration, this new rule was seen a follow-up to the Lily Ledbetter Act of 2009, and a move to fight against the wage gap through transparency. "This step—stemming from a recommendation of the President’s Equal Pay Task Force and a Presidential Memorandum issued in April 2014—will help focus public enforcement of our equal pay laws and provide better insight into discriminatory pay practices across industries and occupations," reads a statement from the Obama White House.
