For the first time, the US invites foreign leaders to attend a presidential inauguration. President-elect Donald Trump hosts leaders like Chinese President Xi Jinping's representative and Argentine President Javier Milei,

Their attendance marks the first time world leaders have been present at a U.S. president’s swearing-in ceremony, a historian said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and right-wing leaders including Argentine President Javier Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are on the invite list.

The article states: “As Elon Musk und Argentina’s Javier Milei champion ambitious plans to dramatically slash the size of government, a similar effort is getting underway across the globe from political leaders with a completely different ideology: Vietnam’s Communist party.”

Along with the president's usual travelling crew, one unexpected Argentine will also be in attendance: San Juan Province Governor Marcelo Orrego.

Argentine President Javier Milei's attendance is historically significant. No serving foreign leader has ever attended a U.S. presidential inauguration.

For the first time in U.S. history, a president-elect is welcoming foreign leaders for one of the most American political traditions — the peaceful transfer of power.

President-elect Donald Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping and conservative world leaders such as Argentine President Javier Milei and Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni to the inauguration.
