The Chinese Embassy in Washington said it had no information to provide. But experts do not see Xi coming to Washington next month.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping would consider it too risky to accept President-elect Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his inauguration, and Trump’s gesture following the transition to power at the White House may have little impact on the growing competitive relationship between the two countries. Could. Trump’s incoming press secretary, Carolyn Leavitt, confirmed Thursday that Trump has extended an invitation to the Jan. 20 ceremony. The Chinese Embassy in Washington said it had no information to provide. But experts do not see Xi coming to Washington next month.
Donald Trump, who has threatened to impose 100 percent tariff on China, has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his swearing-in ceremony on January 20. Newly elected US President Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration ceremony. According to the report published on December 11, it was claimed that Trump had extended the invitation to the Chinese leader soon after the election results were declared on November 5. However, the report did not mention whether the Chinese President accepted the invitation or not. Earlier in an interview with NBC News, Trump said he got along very well with Xi and that they had also talked this week.
It is noteworthy that inviting foreign leaders to the inauguration ceremony would be unprecedented for America. According to State Department records, no foreign leader has attended a transfer of power ceremony since 1874. Despite the claim, it would be extraordinary for Trump to invite Xi as he threatened to impose heavy tariffs on Chinese products. Trump also threatened to impose tariffs of more than 60 percent on Chinese goods during the campaign.
