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 also had talks 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.
