Trump Invites Chinese President Xi Jinping to Inauguration Amidst Trade Tensions
Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration, as reported by CBS News. Trump expressed a good rapport with Xi and indicated they had communicated recently. The invitation was reportedly sent to Beijing following the recent U.S. presidential elections. Despite Trump’s plans to increase tariffs on Chinese goods and limit tech exports to China, especially in AI, Xi’s attendance would be unprecedented. Meanwhile, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has donated $1 million to support Trump’s inauguration.
