Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner visit Iceland on private trip
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are visiting Iceland on a private trip, according to reports from Icelandic media. The couple are expected to spend about a week in the country.
RÚV reports that Iceland's Ministry for Foreign Affairs has confirmed the visit and that the couple received standard travel assistance in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy. The assistance relates to communication, security and other practical arrangements.
The visit is private, but local reports say the couple arrived at Akureyri Airport and continued towards Skagafjordur in North Iceland. They are said to be staying at Deplar Farm in Fljot, one of the country's best-known luxury retreats.
Visiting North Iceland?
Akureyri, Skagafjordur and the Trollaskagi peninsula are beautiful summer areas for travelers who want mountains, fjords, horses, hot pools and quieter countryside routes.
A private visit to North Iceland
Ivanka Trump, daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump, is travelling with her husband Jared Kushner. Both were senior advisers during Donald Trump's first term in the White House, but this trip is being described as a private visit rather than an official political engagement.
For travelers, the story is also a reminder of North Iceland's growing appeal. The region around Akureyri and Skagafjordur offers a calmer pace than the south coast, with dramatic mountains, rural valleys, whale watching, horseback riding and easy access to some of Iceland's most scenic northern routes.
