Trump invites Xi Jinping to inauguration amid threats of tariffs on Chinese goods
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration next month, extending a diplomatic olive branch even as Trump threatens to impose massive tariffs on Chinese products.
Trump's new press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Thursday that Trump had invited Xi, but said it was “to be determined” whether the leader of the United States' most important economic and military competitor would attend.
“This is an example of how President Trump is creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries that are not only our allies, but also our adversaries and competitors,” Leavitt said during an appearance on Fox News . “We saw it in his first term. … He is willing to talk to anyone and he will always put America's interests first.”
CBS News first reported the invitation to Xi.
Trump Thursday During an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange, where he rang the market's opening bell, he said he was “thinking about inviting some people to the inauguration” without referring to specific individuals.
“And some people said, 'Wow, that's a little risky, isn't it?'” Trump said. “And I said, 'Maybe. We'll see. We'll see what happens.' But we like to take few risks.”
Leavitt said other foreign leaders were also invited, but provided no details.
The heads of mission from each country to the United States will also be invited, according to a Trump inaugural committee official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The invitation comes as Trump pledged to impose massive tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China to push those countries to do more to reduce illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States.
He said that on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada and that China could be hit with even higher tariffs.
China produces precursor chemicals used in the production of fentanyl, but Beijing has stepped up efforts over the past year to crack down on the export of the chemicals.
Xi in meeting with President Joe Biden last month in Beijing, he urged the United States not to start a trade war.
“Make a wise choice,” Mr. Xi warned. “Continue to explore the right way for two great countries to get along well.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also pushed back against Trump's threats, warning that such a tariff measure would also be perilous for the U.S. economy.
Trudeau said earlier this week that Americans are “starting to wake up to the reality that tariffs on everything coming from Canada would make life much more expensive” and said he would fight back if Trump implemented them.
Trump responded by calling Canada a state and Trudeau a governor.
