The Trump inauguration: A list of attendees and boycotters.

On Monday in Washington, D.C., President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated, with many notable individuals attending, including former presidents, politicians, tech giants, world leaders, and others. However, a select few key figures will choose to absent themselves from the event.

Typically, presidents who leave office attend the swearing-in ceremony of their successors. Last month, President Biden stated that he would attend the second inauguration of former President Trump, despite Trump not attending Biden's inauguration four years ago. Furthermore, the White House announced that First Lady Jill Biden would also be present.

The Associated Press reports that all three living former presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, have confirmed their participation in the inauguration celebrations. Additionally, their former first ladies, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, will also be present at the event.

Some prominent Democrats, including former first lady Michelle Obama and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, have announced that they will not attend the inauguration.

Michelle Obama did not attend former President Jimmy Carter's funeral earlier this month, and a spokesperson for the Obamas did not provide additional information to the AP about her absence.

The CEOs of tech giants such as Tesla, SpaceX, Amazon, Facebook, and TikTok will be seated at the front of the dais along with other VIP guests.

The New York Times reported that Chew received an invitation from the Inaugural Committee, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Xi Jinping, along with other world leaders, received an invitation from Trump to attend an event.

In December, Karoline Leavitt, the incoming White House press secretary, stated on "Fox & Friends" that Xi Jinping had received an invitation to attend the inauguration after Trump expressed his desire to have the Chinese leader there.

"President Trump's willingness to engage in open dialogue with leaders of countries that are not just our allies but our adversaries and competitors is an example of his approach to foreign policy. As Leavitt noted, this approach was evident in the first term, before. Trump's approach is characterized by a willingness to talk to anyone and a commitment to putting America's interests first."

On Friday, China's Foreign Ministry announced that Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will visit Washington, despite Jinping's absence.

The AP and CBS reported that Trump invited the presidents of Argentina and El Salvador, as well as Hungary's prime minister to the inauguration. However, Hungarian media reported that Orbán would not attend.

According to Politico, both Milei and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are expected to attend the event.

No foreign leaders have previously attended any U.S. inaugurations, according to State Department historical records.

Carrie Underwood, the Village People, and Lee Greenwood are scheduled to perform at the inauguration. Underwood will sing "America the Beautiful" during the swearing-in ceremony for Trump and President-elect JD Vance, as a Trump Transition spokesperson informed Planet Chronicle Digital.

In 2021, Trump and Melania Trump did not attend Biden's inauguration. Historically, six other former presidents, including John Adams, have also missed their successors' inaugurations, as stated by the White House Historical Association.
