US President-elect Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to his inauguration on January 20, 2025, though it remains unclear if Xi will attend. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was also invited and is reportedly considering his response.
Following his election victory, Trump announced plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, citing ineffective talks with China over fentanyl trafficking. Trump criticized China for failing to enforce promised penalties on drug dealers, blaming the influx of fentanyl into the US, often via Mexico.
