Story highlights Ivanka Trump said sexual harassment should be reported and dealt with on a company level

Trump said everyone respected fallen US solider Capt. Humayun Khan's sacrifice

Washington (CNN) Ivanka Trump said Tuesday that sexual harassment in any setting was "inexcusable," seeking to tamp down the controversy created by her father and brother Eric's comments on the issue.

"I think harassment in general, regardless, sexual or otherwise, is totally inexcusable and if it transpires it needs to be reported and it needs to be dealt with on a company level," Trump said during a one-on-one interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren on "On The Record".

"We have a very strong HR team at the Trump Organization, who is equipped to deal with these issues if they arise and you hope they never arise, you hope you have a culture in which they don't arise, but when they do it needs to be dealt with swiftly," she said.

Eric Trump said earlier Tuesday that his sister was a "strong" and "powerful" woman who would never allow herself to be sexually harassed by her boss in an interview aired on "CBS This Morning".
