In an Associated Press interview, President Donald Trump's daughter said Wednesday she was happy with her current role in the administration. She was traveling in Africa to promote a global women's initiative.

Ivanka Trump says her father raised the job as "a question" and she told him she was "happy with the work" she's doing.

Ivanka Trump worked on the selection process for the new head of the 189-nation World Bank, David Malpass. She says he'll do an "incredible job."

Asked if her father had approached her about other top jobs, Ivanka Trump said she'd "keep that between" them. She says she doesn't see a run for office in her future.
