I try to stay out of politics: Ivanka

Ivanka Trump says her father Donald Trump has "phenomenal" political instincts but she stays away from politics, despite being an adviser to the US president.

Senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump says she tries to stay away from politics.

In an interview with Fox and Friends, President Donald Trump's daughter said she tries to "leave the politics to other people and really lean into the issues that I care deeply about."

Trump praised her father, saying "his political instincts are phenomenal."

Ivanka Trump has focused on several policy issues, including paid family leave. Last week, she visited lawmakers on Capitol Hill for talks on those issues.

She stepped away from roles at the Trump Organisation and running her lifestyle brand to take the unpaid role in the Whitehouse.
