"I've heard a lot of names. I've heard Ivanka. How good would Ivanka be?" Trump said as he took questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. "I think Ivanka would be incredible, but it doesn't mean I'd pick her. Because I'd be accused of nepotism even though I'm not sure there's anybody more competent in the world."
The President said he is considering "numerous people" including his former deputy national security adviser Dina Powell, whom he said "is under consideration."
"We actually have many names," Trump said.
Later in the gaggle, the President said his daughter would be "dynamite" as UN ambassador.
Trump told reporters earlier Tuesday that he expects to name a replacement for Haley in the next "two to three weeks," and said that he would be talking about candidates with the former South Carolina governor and others. Haley will serve until the end of the year, he said.
"I can say many people want to do it and they want to do it," Trump said.
