Trump Invites China's Xi Jinping to January 20 Inauguration in Historic First
Dec 12, 2024, 09:10 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration on January 20, according to multiple reports including CBS News. Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed the invitation, stating it was extended shortly after the November 5 election. This unprecedented invitation marks the first time a Chinese leader has been invited to a U.S. presidential inauguration, and no foreign head of state has attended such a ceremony since 1874, based on State Department records. It remains unclear whether Xi has accepted the invitation. Trump's team is also considering inviting other world leaders, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
