Trump traveled to Germany in April, where she took part in a panel with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Trump will join her father on his first overseas trip as president, which includes stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel and Italy.

The trip comes as the Trump administration deals with the swirling controversies over the president's firing of former FBI Director James Comey and the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
