Focus on working women

Trump has participated in several roundtable discussions about female entrepreneurs and female-run businesses. The issue is known to be close to his daughter Ivanka Trump's heart as well.

The topic was discussed at a meeting with female entrepreneurs and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 13, and Donald Trump hosted a roundtable with female small-business owners on March 27.

\"Empowering and promoting women in business is an absolute priority in the Trump administration because I know how crucial women are as job creators, role models and leaders all throughout our communities,\" he said at the event this week.

He has spoken at various points in his presidency about other issues that directly relate to women — including his address to a joint session of Congress on Feb. 28 — though he has yet to take action on all those points.

\"My administration wants to work with members of both parties to make child care accessible and affordable, to help ensure new parents that they have paid family leave to invest in women's health and to promote clean air and clean water and to rebuild our military and our infrastructure,\" he said.

Paid family leave, women's health issues and the promotion of clean air and water are issues that Ivanka Trump addressed during the campaign or met with experts to discuss during the transition.

During her address at the Republican National Convention, she said, \"As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put into place at a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce. And he will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all.\"

She played a big role during her father's campaign, especially when it came to issues relating to women and working families. For instance, she was on hand when her father unveiled his child care plan in Pennsylvania in September.

Women in the White House

Conway, the first female campaign manager of a winning presidential campaign, touted Donald Trump's professional relationships with women.

\"I believe that Donald Trump is someone who is not fully understood for how compassionate and what a great boss he is to women ... He has been promoting and elevating women in the Trump corporation, in the Trump campaign, in the Trump Cabinet, certainly in the Trump White House. It's just a very natural affinity for him,\" she said.

Conway and Ivanka Trump are arguably the most prominent women advising the president and are the female figures who appear the most with him.

Until yesterday, Ivanka Trump did not have a formal title in the administration but recently had security clearance approved, received a government-issued communication device and was given an office on the second floor of the West Wing.

On Wednesday she released a statement announcing that she will have the title of special assistant to the president but will not receive a salary.

First lady Melania Trump has decided to stay in New York through the end of son Barron's school year, and she has spoken at only a handful of events since Donald Trump took office, including this morning, when she spoke about women's empowerment at the State Department.

She hosted the International Women's Day Luncheon on March 8 and joined her husband for key moments since his inauguration, such as when they hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife in Washington and Florida in early February and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife in D.C. later that month.

Donald Trump also counts among his close advisers Dina Powell, the deputy national security adviser; Omarosa Manigault, the director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison; Hope Hicks, a senior campaign staffer turned director of strategic communications; Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the principal deputy White House press secretary; and K.T. McFarland, his deputy national security adviser.

ABC News confirmed today that, as first reported by Politico, deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh will be leaving her post. Two sources with direct knowledge told ABC News she will be consulting for a political not-for-profit organization — or outside (c)(4) group, after the group's tax designation — that aims to help with his agenda.

Trump has been criticized for what some said was a lack of diversity on his Cabinet. He picked four women for Cabinet-level positions — Betsy DeVos (education secretary), Nikki Haley (U.N. ambassador), Linda McMahon (small business administrator) and Elaine Chao (transportation secretary) — the fewest since George W. Bush's first Cabinet, though he went on to appoint Condoleezza Rice as his secretary of state in his second term.

By contrast, Barack Obama had seven women in Cabinet-level positions at the start of his presidency, and Bill Clinton had six. George H.W. Bush had two, and Reagan had one.

\"My Cabinet is full of really incredible women leaders,\" Trump said Wednesday.

\"I'm so proud that the White House and our administration is filled with so many women of such incredible talent,\" he said.
