Chelsea Clinton said Tuesday that, if given the opportunity, she’d ask Ivanka Trump how exactly her father would pay for a minimum wage increase.

Clinton was asked during a Facebook live stream for Glamour magazine what she would ask Trump after her speech at the Republican National Convention that painted her father as someone who would fight for women’s rights.

“How would your father do that? Given it’s not something he’s spoken about. There are no policies on any of those fronts that you just mentioned on his website,” Clinton said. “Not last week, not this week.”

Clinton and Trump have been longstanding friends and have said before that they wouldn’t let the election get in their way of their relationship.

“So, I think the how question is super important in politics as it is in life,” Clinton said, before vouching for her mother’s policies.
