President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his January 20th inauguration, according to CBS News, citing multiple sources. While these sources claim that Trump extended the invitation shortly after the presidential elections, the Chinese Embassy in Washington had not commented.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago this week, is “still considering” whether to attend, according to a source familiar with Orbán’s plans. CBS notes that it is very unusual for foreign leaders to attend an inauguration, noting that State Department records dating back to 1874 show that no foreign leader has ever attended one.
