Ivanka Trump on Wednesday pushed business leaders to change their attitudes toward women at an Indian summit where she has drawn mixed reviews amid criticism over her White House role and clothes brand. Many attendees at the three-day Global Entrepreneurship Summit embraced her message, including calls for India to boost its woefully low rate of female employment in the fast growing economy. Others questioned Trump’s credentials to lead such a summit, disapproving of some overt political messaging about her father’s presidency in scripted remarks. “I felt she has been talking more about politics than the real issues that women entrepreneurs have to face. We are not interested in American politics or her father’s policies,” Norma Uazengisa, an entrepreneur from Namibia, told AFP.
