Trump broke tradition, sent invitation to China’s President
The tradition is that world leaders are not invited to the swearing-in ceremony of the US President. But Trump has broken the tradition this time. The Republican leader has personally sent invitations to some leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping. This is an important thing amid the confrontation between Washington DC and Beijing on many issues. Confirming the call to Xi Jinping, Trump spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt said during a show on Fox News, ‘This is an example of President Trump creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries who are not only allies, But they are also our opponents and our competitors.
Trump also invited these countries
Although the Chinese President is unlikely to attend the event, Vice President Han Zheng or Foreign Minister Wang Yi could be sent to the US.
