Jakarta Aktual – 19 June 2026 | Ivanka Trump, the daughter of former US President Donald Trump, has been making headlines recently for her various endeavors. While her father’s family has been involved in a luxury development project in Albania, Ivanka has been working on a separate initiative to donate AI glasses to visually impaired veterans.
The luxury development project, linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, has been a subject of controversy in Albania, with thousands of protesters demonstrating outside the Prime Minister’s Office in Tirana. Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has accused Iran of fueling the protests through cyberattacks and spreading false information. Rama claimed that Iran has been engaging in a ruthless cyber-attack against Albania for three years, and the country has been a victim of a cyberterror campaign aimed at crippling its digital systems.
Rama’s accusations come after a recent Iranian cyberattack on Albania in 2022, which compromised the country’s government systems and forced Albania to temporarily sever digital services. The two countries have had strained relations since then, with Albania breaking diplomatic relations with Iran.
Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump has been working on a separate initiative to donate AI glasses to visually impaired veterans. The initiative, in collaboration with Meta and the Blinded Veterans Association, aims to provide Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to all legally blind American veterans, estimated to be around 130,000. The glasses can read text and describe surroundings on command, allowing sight-impaired users to live more independently.
The program was inspired by Don Overton, an 82nd Airborne Division Army veteran who lost his sight in Desert Storm and worked with Meta’s wearables team. The glasses will be distributed at VA Blind Rehabilitation Centers, where BVA representatives will provide training for their use.
However, Ivanka Trump’s family has also been the subject of controversy, with comedian Jimmy Kimmel making a joke about her and her father during a recent monologue. Kimmel referenced a UFC broadcast mix-up involving Melania Trump and Ivanka, and then delivered a punchline that drew gasps from some audience members.
In conclusion, Ivanka Trump’s double life as a businesswoman and a advocate for veterans’ rights has been making headlines recently. While her family’s luxury development project has been a subject of controversy, her initiative to donate AI glasses to visually impaired veterans has been a positive step forward. However, the controversy surrounding her family’s business dealings and Jimmy Kimmel’s joke have left many questioning her family’s values and ethics.
