US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said he would “love” to have his Jewish daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, play an active role in the White House.
“I would love to be able to have them involved” in Washington, he told Fox News, when asked by host Chris Wallace if the power couple was moving to Washington.
Rumors started circulating last week that the couple was house hunting in the DC area.
“Well, we’re working that out right now. They’re both very talented people,” Trump told Wallace. “I think we’ll have to see how the laws read.”
“If you look at Ivanka, you take a look, she’s so strong, as you know, to the women’s issue and childcare, and so many things she’d be so good [at]. Nobody can do better than her. I’d just have to see whether or not we can do that. She’d like to do that,” he said.
Trump also said he would like Kushner’s help in dealing with other nations, and Middle East peace.
“I’d love to have Jared helping us on deals with other nations and see if we can do peace in the Middle East and other things. He’s very talented. He’s a very talented guy. So, we’re looking at that from a legal standpoint right now,” Trump said.
The wide-ranging interview on Sunday, which included discussion of Trump Cabinet appointments and the transition process was the president elect’s first Sunday show interview since winning the election.
