President Trump said Tuesday that his daughter Ivanka would be "dynamite" as an ambassador to the United Nations, but conceded that he would be accused of nepotism if he appointed her to replace outgoing Ambassador Nikki Haley.
"I think Ivanka would be incredible," Trump told reporters as he prepared to depart the White House for a campaign rally in Iowa.
"You'd be accused of nepotism even though I'm not sure there's anybody more competent in the world," Trump added.
Trump said he's considering Dina Powell for the position. Powell previously served as the president's deputy national security adviser and focused on Middle East policy, but left the administration at the beginning of this year. She later joined Harvard University as a non-resident senior fellow.
