China President Xi Rejects Trump's Inauguration Invite (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 7:45pm On Dec 15, 2024

🇨🇳 Chinese President Xi Jinping has reportedly rejected Donald Trump’s invitation for a history-making guest appearance at next month’s presidential inauguration.

The snub, reported by CBS News, will come as a blow to the president-elect and his plans for a spectacular swearing-in event on January 20 to mark his return to the White House.

A foreign head of state has never attended a U.S. inauguration, according to State Department records, but Trump has also invited Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentinean President Javier Milei, and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to turn it into a global event.

No explanation has been given for Xi’s decision not to travel to Washington. The invite was made just after Trump’s 2024 presidential election triumph.

“This is an example of President Trump creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries that are not just allies but our adversaries and our competitors, too,” his spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Thursday.

Despite Trump’s claims that he has a good relationship with the Chinese leader, his presidency begins with fears of a trade war with Beijing over punitive tariffs proposed during the presidential election campaign.

China is reportedly considering imposing its own tariffs in a bid to beat Trump to it and force him to the negotiating table.

Lol... Trump thinks he's sleek.

His greatest dream is to tear Russia & China apart from each other.

That will never happen.

The first country Xi visited immediately after his re-election was RUSSIA 🇷🇺.

America cannot militarize Taiwan at the expense of Chinese national interest yet still want Xi Jinping, the president of China to attend presidential inauguration in Washington.

They should keep the relationship on the economic front only.

Trump is a joke. Throughout American history when has a foreign dignitary been invited to a presidential inauguration? Why would Xi attend the inauguration of a foe? Same Trump who accused China of intentionally spreading the corona virus? Same China the U.S has accused of trying to forcible take Taiwan? Same China Trump has said he will impose a 100% tarrif because they are members of BRICS.

I know Trump has no common sense but what's even scarier is the fact that there's no one in his circle or cabinet bold enough to advise him. Mark my words there will be a World War during Trump's 2nd term. If you are in the diaspora, start making arrangements to come back home before your host countries join an all out war whereby you are either forced to partake in or will be killed as a result.
