Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer.

Is this a new form of insult? Sanction and tariffs 100% and then invite over for dinner?

[nickl]

Xi be saying, "Thanks but I'm meeting Putin on how to work on the no-limit ties and de-dollarise the next day and need the rest."

[sergband]

He started the tariff war from 2018 on china now after all that he invites him to this. What is going to do next, give him a big Mac and then talk business

[devn]

Can you even imagine if Biden did this? MAGA would lose their minds.

[Kai-icmp]

There is 0 reason for Chairman Xi to attend to this clown show. There is a very high probability of Trump saying childish things about China during this event anyways. Respect is something America never really possessed.

*India Modi still waiting invitation from Trump*

President Xi should avoid this waste of money and time

[sunnywu]

I am sure Xi won't go. Trump is so unpredictable. No one knows what an insane man would do. He should invite Milei, who will certainly make him happy.

[tg]

Should also invite the supreme leader of Iran, and declare peace.

[mgfunky]

it makes sense. xi is the most influential leader in the world currently outside of US, and if you take china rise in business perspective it is unprecedented in the history of business and trump is a business man. Xi and trump standing together marks 2 of the most powerful nations in the world. This is trumps power move.

[katyvaldez]

Trump should go to China again, and learn how to MAGA... China is far ahead of the States right now.

[dawebslave]

Inviting Xi for sure is not for US China relation, it is to show the world Trump has the ability to invite the second most powerful leader in the world. Xi would only attend if he knows ahead the hurdles for the relations can be reduced, or it will be a waste of his time. Trump is so unpredictable, especially when comes to friendship.

[pkwong]

What's the point⁰! China should avoid the Inauguration ceremony. Serves no purpose.

[jimliu]

He should invite Putin and end the stupid war…

[MikeVega-wy]

Trump looking to sell the U.S. to China for a billion dollars 😂😂😂😂😂

[WhatsupPattaya]

All countries and leaders should be invited and be our allies. Why does everything have to be a competition.

[Willstratton-tl]

Glory!!! After so much struggles I now own a new house with an influx of $360, 500.00 every month God has kept to his words, my family is happy again everything is finally falling into place. God bless America 🇺🇲
