Trump’s reported inauguration guest list includes host of right-wing global leaders
Donald Trump’s reported inauguration guest list includes a number of right-wing leaders – and their inclusion breaks with traditional US foreign policy.
The presidential inauguration is customarily a strictly domestic affair, with no of any foreign leader having formally attended in almost 250 years, according to The Times of India. However, among the many right-wing guests invited on 20 January is Chinese president Xi Jinping. He is highly unlikely to attend but will send either vice-president Han Zheng or foreign minister Wang Yi in his place.
External affairs minister S Jaishankar is expected to attend on behalf of the Indian government, alongside Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentina’s president Javier Milei, El Salvador president Nayib Bukele, and the notoriously anti-LGBTQ+ Viktor Orbán.
