Ivanka Trump is expected to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in The Hague on June 4 and 5, according to ‘reliable sources’ cited by public broadcaster NOS.

It is the first time the conference, a gathering of international top business people, will have been held in Europe. Over a thousand companies will be represented in The Hague in what has been described by foreign affairs minister Sigrid Kaag ‘a big trade mission only the other way round’.

It is not clear whether president Donald Trump will put in an appearance. At the last summit, in India, he also sent his daughter.

The summit is a joint effort by the Dutch and the American foreign affairs departments. Topics will include innovative solutions for problems related to food, water, energy, health and connectivity. Dutch companies including Philips, APG, DSM, Ahold, Unilever and Rabobank will also be taking part.
