Foreign Leaders Scrambling To Obtain Invitations to Trump’s Historic Inauguration as 47th US President
January 11, 2025
As America impatiently awaits January 20th to begin living its new Golden Age, many foreign leaders worldwide are desperately scrambling to be awarded a coveted invitation to Donald J. Trump’s historic inauguration as the 47th US President.
The New York Post reported:
“By custom, foreign leaders don’t attend inaugurations of U.S. presidents, but Trump has thrown that precedent out the window, setting off the scramble after inviting Chinese president Xi Jinping to the Jan. 20 ceremony. Xi has already turned the offer down, with a top emissary expected to attend instead.”
Many heads of state are mobilizing their agents in Washington, D.C., to be included in this exclusive event.
“’They’re all going crazy. Chile, Peru, Nigeria, Mozambique’, said one registered foreign agent, who added the leaders ‘were champing at the bit to attend’. For most, the answer is likely no.
‘I tell my clients the truth. You’re not going to be able to go. If you’re Costa Rica, there is just no way you get invited to this inauguration. What is the value add? You are not bringing business or major companies from your country’.”
Trump will be sworn in at noon by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, on the west front of the Capitol building.
After that, a multitude of balls and parties will then take place all over Washington.
Foreign leaders want to get a leg up in bringing their issues before the incoming administration and its allies.
But Trump has focused on inviting leaders close to him politically.
“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she had been invited and would try and make it. Argentina’s Javier Milei has been invited and plans to go. El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele — who has turned the nation around by cracking down on gang violence — has also been invited, as has former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Another world leader who has been making furious overtures is Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky — who has publicly expressed interest in wanting to go as well. Trump has not formally invited the embattled Ukrainian leader but said last month that ‘if he’d like to come, I’d like to have him’.”
