White House special counselor Ivanka Trump pushed back Tuesday on a German newspaper that called her a “loyal accomplice” to her father, President Trump.

“I don't like the word ‘accomplice’ because in this context, I don’t know that that’s productive,” Trump told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson.

Trump traveled to Berlin, Germany to participate in a women's panel at the invitation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This is her first trip abroad in an official capacity as a White House employee.

Berliner Zeitung, a daily Berlin-based newspaper, called Ivanka Trump a loyal accomplice according to a CNN translation.

The first daughter also addressed whether she pushes President Trump in a more moderate direction, saying he is open to “divergent viewpoints.”

“One of the things that I value about my father, as first a businessman and now as the leader of our country, is that he curates ideas and he likes to hear from people with divergent viewpoints. And that’s not always true in politics. It’s actually seldom true,” she said.

More of the interview will air Tuesday night on NBC’s “Nightly News with Lester Holt” and Wednesday morning on NBC’s “Today.”
