House Speaker Paul Ryan met privately on Monday with Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, according to two people familiar with the meeting. Ryan was in New York to deliver a policy address at the Economic Club of New York and had a private meeting with Ivanka Trump afterward at her request. Ryan and Donald Trump have had a strained relationship since Trump emerged as the Republican presidential nominee. Ryan waited weeks before endorsing Trump and has continued to criticize him, including last week when Ryan called for Trump to release his taxes. Neither Trump’s campaign nor Ryan’s office immediately responded to a request for comment on the meeting Monday in New York, or what was on the agenda for the discussion.
