Xi Jinping Likely to Skip Trump’s Inauguration Despite Invitation
Chinese President Xi Jinping is not expected to attend the upcoming inauguration of President Donald Trump, even after receiving an invitation. Although some officials from China may join the event, this would mark a historic departure, as no foreign leaders have attended a U.S. presidential inauguration in the past. Trump’s cabinet, including figures like Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz, are critical of China, reflecting ongoing tensions between the two nations. The inauguration is set for January 20 in Washington, D.C.
