Xi refused? The Chinese President is not coming to Trump's inauguration
Chinese President Xi Jinping will not travel to Washington next month for the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, CBS News reports, citing informed sources.
China's ambassador to the United States and his wife are expected to attend the inauguration, as is standard practice.
Sources told CBS News that other officials from Beijing could join them.
According to American television, the invitation to Xi, which was conveyed outside of formal diplomatic channels, surprised both Beijing and US allies, at a time of increased tension in relations between the two countries.
Earlier, Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the newly elected US president invited Xi Jinping to his inauguration, scheduled for January 20, 2025, and that the invitation to the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was omitted this time.
