WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ivanka Trump will help manage the Trump administration's selection of a U.S. candidate for the position of World Bank Group president, a White House official said on Monday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process is not public, dismissed a report in the Financial Times that floated Ivanka's name as a possible candidate and was repeated by several other media outlets over the weekend.
