Argentine President Javier Milei Confirms Attendance at Trump’s Inauguration

Milei’s decision marks an unprecedented break with tradition as world leaders typically do not attend U.S. presidential inaugurations.

Javier Milei, Argentina's president and a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, has accepted an invitation to attend Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025.
This decision is historically significant, as no foreign head of state has previously attended a U.S. presidential inauguration, with nations typically sending diplomats instead.
Trump has extended invitations to several world leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, though their attendance remains unconfirmed.
Chinese President Xi Jinping declined the invitation but will send a diplomatic delegation, while Trump stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has not been invited.
Milei’s attendance follows his growing alignment with Trump, including appearances at Mar-a-Lago and other conservative events in the U.S.
