Ivanka Trump, 34, and Chelsea Clinton, 36, met many years ago and have been close friends for a long period. Of course, they have a lot in common: both are in their early 30s, in addition, both are mothers, Chelsea has two children, Ivanka has three.

In 2005, Chelsea was among the honored guests at Trump's daughter's wedding, and in 2008, Ivanka donated money to Hillary Clinton’s election campaign.

But it seems that the presidential election campaign in the United States and the very active confrontation, one might even say enmity, between their parents were partially transmitted to them, writes LA Times.

First, at the beginning of 2016, they announced their intention to limit their communication for the period of the election campaign, adding that they do not hurt each other, but, nevertheless, do not want to be part of their parents' campaigns.

In July, the situation escalated further when both women were given the honor of introducing their parents before their nomination speeches at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Both did an excellent job.

But their speeches caused a public political conflict between Chelsea and Ivanka, which broke out on the Glamor magazine page on Facebook.

Introducing Donald Trump at the Republican Convention, Ivanka said: “As President, my father will change labor laws that were put in place at a time when women represented a small part of the workforce, and he will also focus on making quality child care available.” accessible to everyone."

Journalists asked Chelsea to comment on this statement of her friend, and with her answer she demonstrated how tough it can be in a political game.

“I would ask her: how will your father do this? Changes in legislation and increased wages for women are not just something he talks about; he does not have any policy on this topic written down on his website, it wasn’t written down last week and it doesn’t exist now. Therefore, I believe that the question “How?” is very important in politics and in life,” Chelsea said and added, “What’s really important to me is that my mom consistently talked in this election about how she was going to do everything she promised, regardless of whether it was about controlling weapons or about protecting women’s rights.”

Ivanka has not yet responded to this, but has repeatedly noted that her friendship with Chelsea is beyond politics.

Chelsea also said that she does not intend to ask her friend to explain or apologize for all the hurtful words that Trump said to Hillary Clinton during the election campaign. She also promised to consider the idea of ​​a “daughters summit,” at which she and Ivanka would discuss all the hurtful words that their parents exchanged during the election campaign.

Given the length of the friendship between the two women, they are likely to survive difficult election times and resume full-fledged communication after November 2016.
