As Xi Jinping snubs Trump's Inauguration Day invitation; here are world leaders who may line up to attend the ceremony on January 20
Xi Jinping has reportedly declined Donald Trump's invitation to attend the upcoming presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. No explanation has been provided by Chinese officials regarding Xi Jinping's decision not to attend the inauguration.
This decision comes as a significant blow to Trump's plans for a spectacular swearing-in event on January 20th, which he had hoped would turn into a global spectacle. According to State Department records, this would have marked the first time a foreign head of state has ever attended a U.S. presidential inauguration.
Top leaders to attend?
Trump has extended invitations to several high-profile international figures, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentinean President Javier Milei, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele.

Implications
This snub comes at a time when U.S.-China relations are already strained:
• Tensions between the two nations have been rising due to proposed punitive tariffs during Trump's presidential campaign.
