Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka was met with jeers from an audience in Berlin as she defended her father’s attitude towards women.
The First Daughter was attending a panel discussion with German chancellor Angela Merkel and IMF chief Christine Lagarde as part of the G20 women's summit.
She was booed when she described her father as a "tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive".
The President’s attitude to women has been heavily criticised, particularly after a video surfaced during his campaign in which he bragged about grabbing women "by the p****".
Ms Trump addressed the issue, saying: "I've certainly heard the criticism from the media, and that's been perpetuated."
She added that her own personal experience and the fact that "thousands" of women have worked with and for Mr Trump for decades in the private sector "are a testament to his belief and solid conviction in the potential of women and their ability to do the job as well as any man".
"He encouraged me and enabled me to thrive," she added.
"I grew up in a house where there was no barrier to what I could accomplish beyond my own perseverance and my own tenacity."
There was, she stressed, "no difference between me and my brothers. And I think as a business leader you saw that, and as a president you will absolutely see that."
Ms Trump, 35, stepped away from both running her fashion brand and from an executive role at the Trump Organisation to become an unpaid White House adviser.
