Donald Trump News: America has also sent an invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping for the swearing-in of President Donald Trump. On one hand, Trump has threatened to impose strict sanctions on China as soon as he comes to power. On the other hand, the incoming President of America has taken a new initiative of friendship and sent an invitation to Jinping. In such a situation, the Chinese government is also in a state of confusion regarding this invitation. Neither has China agreed to this nor are they talking about rejecting this invitation. At present, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has maintained silence regarding this. Actually, both the countries are playing mind games regarding the swearing-in ceremony of Donald Trump. China knows very well that if new tariffs were imposed by America, it could cause huge damage to its economy. On the other hand, Trump also knows very well that China will take retaliatory action after his move and a trade-war situation will arise between the two countries similar to the previous tenure. There is a saying “Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer”. It seems that America’s future President Donald Trump is currently seen following this path regarding China. What is going on inside? Trump’s swearing-in ceremony is to be held in Washington DC on January 20. Latest reports suggest that President Xi Jinping has politely declined this invitation. This is the first time that a foreign leader has been invited to the swearing-in of an American President. Xi Jinping on Tuesday warned against tariffs, trade and technology after Trump becomes president. He had said that if there is a trade war again then no one will benefit from it. On the other hand, Donald Trump had vowed to impose new tariffs on China after taking office. On one hand the war of words and on the other hand the invitation to Trump’s swearing-in, both things seem unusual. Trump’s double game on Xi Jinping! Trump has sometimes been hot and sometimes cold about his views on Xi Jinping – on one occasion he called the Chinese President “a wonderful person”. On the other occasion he has called them enemies. Trump had said, “He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. “I mean, he’s a great guy, whether you like it or not.” But in two other interviews, he called Jinping the biggest threat to the world and termed China as the threat of this century.
