Ivanka Trump described the hurdles faced by women during a speech at a business conference in India, which is treating her trip like a royal visit. Trump's speech Tuesday at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in the southern city of Hyderabad was broadcast live throughout India by major news channels. But the conference's focus on female entrepreneurs raises questions about some of the commercial decisions made by Trump and her namesake brand. Abigail Klem, president of the Ivanka Trump brand, has called supply chain integrity "a top priority," but the brand has not joined the growing number of companies that publicly identify their manufacturers. The annual entrepreneurship conference has a theme this year of "Women first, prosperity for all," and involves networking, mentoring and workshops.
