Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner at World Cup

There was divided opinion on social media about Trump’s presence at the game, with some praising her for helping to break down boundaries, while others questioned her support of a tournament in a country in which slave labor and human-rights abuses were allegedly common in the building of the soccer stadiums. One user supported the presence of Trump in the stadium and tweeted that it made a welcome statement: “The female presence in the stadium is important, it will help open space for women in that culture.”
