Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have been invited to visit China – ahead of an official visit by the president himself.
The couple are extremely popular in the Asian nation, particularly after a video clip of their daughter singing in Mandarin went viral last year.
The couple, who both have official roles in the White House, have been invited to visit China “later this year”, according to Bloomberg, but no further details have been given. Earlier this year, Chinese media reported that the US president would visit the country in 2017. However, time is running out in the president’s packed schedule.
Insiders believe that neither visit is likely to take place before the Communist Party Congress, which is expected to be held in either October or November.
