Hamburg: First daughter Ivanka Trump took her father's seat at a G20 meeting table in Hamburg on Saturday, sitting in for the US President when he stepped away for one-on-one meetings with world leaders.

As an unpaid adviser to her father, Ivanka told Fox & Friends last month that she tries to "stay out of politics".

But as President Trump stepped away from the a G20 session on Saturday to meet with the president of Indonesia, Ivanka literally took his seat among world leaders, sitting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and British Prime Minister Theresa May.

An aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin tweeted out a photo of the event. The aide later deleted the tweet, but not before it made the rounds on the Internet.
