Ivanka Trump says father did not authorise lethal force against migrants, before being shown clip of him authorising lethal force

Ivanka Trump insisted her father had not authorised the use of lethal force on migrants at the US border. The president’s daughter and adviser appeared visibly uncomfortable after being confronted with the video during an interview on ABC News. Moments earlier she had described pictures of migrant families being tear-gassed by American forces at the US-Mexico-border as “devastating” and “heartbreaking”.
