Ivanka Trump says she is learning more about Washington and is looking to have more influence in the White House.

The first daughter said in an interview with The New York Times that she is "still at the early stages of learning how everything works."

"But I know enough now to be a much more proactive voice inside the White House," she added.

Trump — a special assistant to President Trump who has reportedly advised her father on issues related to climate, deportation, education and refugee policy — said she wants to focus on gender inequality.

“Suddenly, after my father declared his candidacy, it became that all the things that I was doing that I was praised for, the same people, the critics, viewed them through this different lens,” Trump told The Times.

“Somehow, all the same things they applauded me for as a millennial, as a female entrepreneur, were now viewed very cynically as opportunistic.”

The first daughter explained that her father trusts her, adding that she doesn't have a "hidden agenda."

“I’m not looking to hit him to help myself," she said.
