Ivanka Trump on Tuesday pushed back on reports that her reaction to a chemical attack on civilians in Syria prompted President Trump’s decision to launch airstrikes at a Syrian air base.

“That’s a flawed interpretation,” Ivanka Trump said during a trip to Germany, where she participated in a panel discussion on women's empowerment and entrepreneurship, ABC News reported.

"I think it would be very hard as a human being to see the images that we saw and not react and not be very shaken to the core," Ivanka Trump said of the attack.

The first daughter and White House senior adviser was responding to an interview with The Daily Telegraph in which her brother Eric Trump said she was “heartbroken and outraged” by the chemical attack that killed at least 80 people, including children.

"Ivanka is a mother of three kids and she has influence," Eric Trump said in the interview. "I'm sure she said: 'Listen, this is horrible stuff.' My father will act in times like that.”

But while Ivanka Trump confirmed what her brother said in the interview, and said her perspective “aligned” with her father’s, she insisted the decision to strike Syria was entirely the president’s.

She praised the president’s “decisive” action, ABC reported, and the “clear message he sent that heinous attacks of this nature using chemical weapons will not be condoned by the United States.”

“While I expressed that sentiment — as a leader of a country you can’t make decision based on emotion along,” she said. “His decision was incredibly well-informed and advised at every level.”
