According to CBS News, Ivanka Trump left the call after she was asked about a report by The Associated Press that China has approved 13 new trademarks for her brand in recent months.

Press aide Ninio Fetalvo reportedly answered the question by directing reporters' questions about Trump's company to the press office.

A reporter later tried to ask Trump about her father's health, CBS reports, and, after a pause, Fetalvo answered again, saying, "Ivanka had to step out for another meeting."

The call comes after China signed off on the 13th Ivanka Trump trademark in the last three months on Sunday, according to documents reviewed by the AP. China also gave her company provisional approval for another eight trademarks.

The issuing of the new trademarks comes as President Trump faces scrutiny for his ties to China amid his plan to help Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE. The company was previously banned by the Commerce Department from buying tech components after it violated U.S. sanctions on North Korea and Iran.

Richmond reportedly finished the conference call on Tuesday after Ivanka Trump left.

The White House Sports and Fitness Day is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon on the White House South Lawn and will include hundreds of children, parents and athletes to discuss the benefit of sports.
