President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration next month – extending a diplomatic olive branch even as he threatens to levy big tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump’s incoming press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed on Thursday that Trump invited Xi, but said it was “to be determined” if the leader of the United States’ most significant economic and military competitor would attend.
“We saw this in his first term ... He is willing to talk to anyone and he will always put America’s interest first.” CBS News first reported the invitation to Xi. Trump on Thursday during an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange, where he was ringing the opening bell to open the market, said he’s been “thinking about inviting certain people to the inauguration” without referring to any specific individuals. “And some people said, ‘Wow, that’s a little risky, isn’t it?’” Trump said.
