WASHINGTON _ Ivanka Trump says legislation guaranteeing paid parental leave for federal workers, expected to pass Congress, is a "monumental step" that she hopes will lead to the creation of a paid leave program for all Americans.
The senior White House adviser and daughter of President Donald Trump said the provision attached to a defense bill is evidence that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are engaged and committed to producing a policy that will work for the private sector.
"It is a very positive development," Ivanka Trump said of the legislation on an issue that has been a priority of hers at the White House.
