Ivanka Trump stuns in a plunging and strapless red dress as she attends a friend’s wedding in Mexico – as former presidential senior advisor issues major update on any return to politics

Ivanka Trump dismissed rumors of an impending return to politics by taking a glamorous trip to Mexico with husband Jared Kushner to celebrate a friend’s wedding.

Friends tell DailyMail.com that the former first daughter is focused on her private life and not on ‘made up’ gossip.

“They went on a long-planned weekend to celebrate a friend’s wedding, far away from the fabricated gossip about an impending return to DC politics. The couple remains focused on their family and private lives,” said friends close to the couple.

Ivanka, who served as a senior adviser to her father in his White House, made it clear she was stepping away from politics when Donald Trump announced he was running for president again.

“I love my father very much,” she said at the time. “This time I choose to prioritize my young children and the private life we ​​create as a family. I have no intention of getting involved in politics.”

That remains her position, despite a report in Puck News that she ‘does not rule out playing a role’ in her father’s campaign.

Instead, her focus remains on her family – she and Jared have three children – their life in Miami and their friends.

She regularly posts updates about her life on Instagram, including photos from this weekend.

Ivanka, who looked stunning in a red Cristallini dress, and Jared, in a tuxedo, were in Valle de Bravo, a town on Lake Avándaro, west of Mexico City, for a friend’s wedding.

“Celebrating the love and magic of Mexico,” she wrote on her social media post on Sunday.

The couple has tried to distance themselves from Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and the general Trump circle.

They moved to Florida with children Arabella, 12, Joseph, 9, and Theodore, 8, after Donald Trump left office in January 2021.

And Ivanka wasn’t at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022 when Donald Trump announced he would seek another term in the White House.

It was a change of pace for the former first daughter, who was heavily involved in Trump’s first term in the White House. She had an office in the West Wing and frequently represented the board at home and abroad.

Lately, however, the couple has been focusing on their lives in the private sector.

Kushner, who attended Donald Trump’s re-election announcement, launched his Miami-based investment firm Affinity Partners.

Since his appearance at Mar-a-Lago with his father-in-law, he has made no attempt to return to politics. He also has not commented on reports that he could serve as secretary of state during a second Trump term.

He did have an interview with the New York Times about his investment strategy and work in the private sector.

In fact, a second term for Donald Trump could cause headaches for his company by bringing up all kinds of conflicts of interest that the family faced when Trump first became president and had to distance himself from his Trump Organization.

Meanwhile, Ivanka has been spotted on school runs with her children, attending their sporting events and doing charity work.

One area the couple has remained involved in is the Middle East. During the Trump administration, Jared, who served as a senior adviser to the president, helped draft the Abraham Accords, in which the UAE and Bahrain established diplomatic ties with Israel.

Ivanka converted to Judaism before her 2009 marriage to Jared, an observant Jew. They raise their children in the Jewish faith.

The couple arrived in December toured a kibbutz Israel that was destroyed by the Hamas conflict. During their trip, they heard from locals who had lived in the community before it was destroyed by Hamas’s attack in October.

Ivanka has also helped pack supplies for civilians displaced by the conflict. She remains active with the charity CityServe, which provides meals to displaced people.

Ivanka has worked with the group for more than four years, helping them serve food to those in need during the coronavirus crisis and send supplies to refugees in Ukraine.

However, she has not been able to completely divorce her father.

In November, she testified in Donald Trump’s $250 million civil fraud trial in New York. She was questioned by prosecutors about her role in securing loans for the Trump Organization.

Ivanka was not part of the lawsuit by New York State, where a judge ruled against her family, banning her father from doing business deals in New York for three years and her two oldest brothers, Don Jr. and Eric, were unable to close any deals for two years.

And she testified in House Democrats’ investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, where she revealed her belief that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
