Chinese President Xi Jinping will not be attending Donald Trump’s inauguration after the president-elect offered him an invitation, The Post has learned.

The Chinese leader won’t be coming to the US Capitol in Washington, DC, for the Jan. 20 swearing in, a source familiar with the matter told The Post, after Trump issued him the unprecedented invite.

The Chinese leader is not expected to come to the US Capitol in Washington, DC, for the Jan. 20 swearing in, CBS News reported after revealing that Trump had issued him an unprecedented invite.

Instead, China’s ambassador to the US and his wife are expected to attend as is traditional. Trump’s offer and Xi’s snub of it were first reported by CBS News. 

The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Post about Xi’s plans.

“World leaders are lining up to meet with President Trump because they know he will soon return to power and restore peace through American strength around the globe,” incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post on Wednesday after word of Xi’s invitation got out.

Leavitt then confirmed Thursday morning on Fox News that Xi was one of the world leaders extended an invitation.

“This is an example of President Trump creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries that are not just our allies, but our adversaries and our competitors, too,” she told “Fox & Friends.”

“We saw this in his first term. He got a lot of criticism for it, but it led to peace around this world,” Leavitt added. “He is willing to talk to anyone, and he will always put America’s interest first.”

The once and future president alluded to having some unorthodox guests at his inauguration Thursday morning in New York City, where he rang the New York Stock Exchange bell after being named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2024.

“And some people said, ‘Wow, that’s a little risky, isn’t it?’” Trump said without naming any person in particular. “And I said, ‘Maybe it is. We’ll see. We’ll see what happens.’ But we like to take little chances.”

No world leader has ever officially attended a US president’s inauguration, according to the State Department.

Xi’s RSVP comes as Trump’s made tariff threats to China amid the economic competition between the two countries.

He threatened to impose a 100% tariff on imports coming from BRICS alliance countries — including Russia and China — if they go away from the dollar.

“The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” Trump wrote Dec. 1 on Truth Social.

“We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US Economy,” Trump went on.

He has said previously that his first call will be to Xi to ensure the Chinese leader follows up on a $50 billion agriculture deal they struck up previously.

“My first call — I’m going to call up President Xi. I’m going to say, ‘you have to honor the deal you made,’” Trump said at a roundtable featuring farmers on the campaign trail in September.

“We made a deal. You’d buy $50 billion worth of American farm product,’ and I guarantee you he will buy it, 100% he will buy it.”
