US President-elect Donald Trump has extended an invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping to his inauguration ceremony as US president next month.
Although Xi has yet to respond to the invitation, preparations are underway to welcome other foreign dignitaries.
This is a historic moment, as no foreign leader has ever attended a US transition ceremony.
Trump is also considering inviting leaders from other countries, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Trump's close ties with world leaders, such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Argentine President Javier Miel, highlight his belief in leader-to-leader relationships in making international agreements.
While Trump has shown a tough stance on China, including threats to increase tariffs and an imminent ban on TikTok, his invitation to Xi highlights the complex dynamics of global diplomacy.
This inauguration ceremony may set a new precedent in US history, reflecting Trump's unique approach to handling international relations.
