Ivanka Trump and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim are launching their joint program, the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative, at the G20 summit in Germany today.

The program will create an online global mentoring network and provide financing to women around the world who want to start their own business, especially those in developing countries.

A senior White House official described the initiative as "unprecedented," and noted that Ivanka was originally shocked that there wasn't already a program like this in place, given the level of discourse around women's issues.
Both Kim and Ivanka think that launching the program at the G20 will give them an advantage in getting the program off the ground, given all of the international leaders present.

How it'll work: A senior World Bank official said the initiative will begin as a trust fund in the World Bank, but they hope to eventually open it up to the private sector. In the meantime, the World Bank will serve as the secretariat, but the fund will be governed by those who donate.

Trump and Putin perfectly staged their first meeting so that both men could get what they needed out of it, politically.
"The deal": Sources close to Trump told us he went into the meeting believing it was still possible to strike a deal with Russia. Now we have a better understanding of what that means: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says they spent a good amount of the meeting discussing a solution to the Syrian conflict, and we saw a gift-wrapped victory, with the post-meeting announcement of a ceasefire. Tillerson held out the possibility of larger cooperation — which should be understood as possibly a deal that would encompass fighting ISIS together and resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
