Donald Trump invites China's Xi Jinping to his presidential inauguration
US President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration next month. CBS reported, citing several sources.
This invitation reflects an effort by Trump to woo his Chinese counterpart, in the wake of threats of new customs duties against the world's second-largest economy.
Trump said in an interview with BNCs Meet the Press reported last weekend that he had recently communicated with Xi, but declined to say what they discussed. They last met in person in June 2019 on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Japan.
Trump has met and courted several foreign leaders, including a trip to Paris last weekend where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

No Chinese leader has ever participated in an inauguration ceremony of the American president, usually in the presence of ambassadors. State Department records show no foreign head of state has done so since at least 1874. Xi last visited the United States in November 2023 to attend the Economic Cooperation Summit Asia-Pacific and spoke with President Joe Biden.
Biden did not go to China during his term, in part because of travel disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The leaders of the world's two largest economies usually take turns visiting each other. If the trend continues, it will be the turn of American presidents to travel.
China's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The United States and China are preparing for a new confrontation after Trump's campaign on the application of drastic tariffs targeting all Chinese products with tariffs of 60 percent. Last month, he pledged to impose an additional 10 percent tax if Beijing does not help stem the flow of fentanyl across the southern U.S. border.
Xi congratulated Trump after his election victory and expressed his desire to maintain stable relations, but has on other occasions sought to set boundaries with the new administration by citing four red lines in bilateral relations.
In his latest meeting with Biden, Xi warned against any steps to undermine the Communist Party's grip on power, push the nation toward democracy, contain its economic boom or encourage Taiwan's independence , the autonomous island claimed by Beijing.

China is also exacerbating trade tensions by banning the export of several materials with high-tech and military applications.
Earlier this week, Xi said the trade and technology wars would have no winners, while reiterating that Beijing was willing to maintain dialogue and manage its differences with Washington.
Trump has tapped a number of China hawks to lead his new administration's economic and security portfolios.
He named Rep. Mike Waltz as national security adviser and Sen. Marco Rubio as secretary of state. Both called Beijing an adversary and advocated decoupling its economy.
But Trump also chose former Sen. David Perdue as ambassador to China, recruiting a businessman with experience working in Asia who could offer a potentially moderate voice on policy toward Beijing.
