As an unconventional politician, incoming United States President Donald Trump has often flouted diplomatic norms. So it's no surprise that his inauguration as president is breaking with tradition.
Trump is the first president-elect in over a century to invite foreign leaders to his inauguration, according to US media. Historically, the event has been attended by foreign diplomats and ambassadors.
"It's unusual to have this kind of foreign [leader] attendance, because the inauguration is seen as a domestic political event," said Cayce Myers, a professor at Virginia Tech who focuses on the intersection of public relations and politics.
Among the foreign leaders invited are Italy's conservative prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, and Argentina's right-wing populist president, Javier Miel. Chinese Vice President Han Zheng is also invited.
There will also be politicians and businessmen from Kosovo at Trump's inauguration.
The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, will participate in this event, as will former Kosovo President Behgjet Pacolli, the mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama, and businessman Shkëlqim Devolli.
Trump “uses these big events, like the inauguration, as an opportunity to build connections and find common ground,” Myers said. “It’s a very unique way of approaching diplomacy, and it’s a way that has its roots in business.”
Other VIP guests at the inauguration include the biggest names in the US tech industry, including X and Tesla owner Elon Musk, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. The leaders of Apple, OpenAI, Uber, and TikTok have also reportedly accepted invitations.
Some of these companies have made donations to Trump's inauguration fund, which has raised a record amount of more than $170 million.
Silicon Valley, the US technology hub, responded cautiously to Trump's surprise victory in 2016. Musk, one of the biggest donors to Trump's 2024 election campaign, had supported his opponent, Hillary Clinton, that year.
Business leaders gathered in the VIP section at Trump's 2017 inauguration included billionaires from the casino industry to finance.
But Silicon Valley's change of attitude is driven by a desire to have a seat at the table when it comes to regulations and tariffs for the tech sector, experts said.
Matthew Dallek, a professor of political history at George Washington University, said that tech companies will seek to "avoid" any new tariffs that could potentially affect their businesses.
Dallek tha se administrata e presidentit amerikan, Joe Biden, prishi raportet me Silicon Vallen, duke e akuzuar kompaninë Amazon për praktika të monopolit, duke kërkuar ndarjen e Google, duke paditur Meta-n, duke e shpërfillur Tesla-n gjatë një ngjarjeje në Shtëpinë e Bardhë dedikuar makinave elektrike, si dhe duke e luftuar industrinë e kriptovalutave.
“Shumë njerëz në botën e teknologjisë vërtet u mërzitën me përpjekjet e administratës Biden për t’i rregulluar ata dhe për ta kufizuar mënyrën se si veprojnë ata. Ata u ndien se kjo ishte shtypje agresive”, tha Dallek.
“Përveç kësaj, ata ndien se kishte shumë komente negative që u bënë nga Shtëpia e Bardhë. Në vend se të shiheshin si heronj të epokës së re digjitale, ata e kuptuan se ishin sharë nga disa zyrtarë të Bidenit”, shtoi ai.
Në fjalimin e tij të lamtumirës drejtuar kombit më 15 janar, Biden paralajmëroi se një “oligarki e rrezikshme” e njerëzve të pasur po formohet në Amerikë dhe po përdor pushtetin, që kërcënon demokracinë.
“Jam i shqetësuar lidhur me përqendrimin e rrezikshëm të pushtetit në duart e disa njerëzve të pasur”, tha Biden, pa përmendur emra.
Musk, njeriu më i pasur në botë, besohet se ka ndikim të rëndësishëm në Trumpin.
Presidenti i zgjedhur emëroi Muskun që të mbikëqyr një komision që do të merret me përmirësimin e efikasitetit të Qeverisë, përfshirë shkurtimin e shpenzimeve.
Që nga viti 1981 inaugurimi është mbajtur në frontin perëndimor të Kapitolit, ku është ndërtuar një platformë për këtë ngjarje, e cila mund t'i akomodojë mbi 1.600 persona.
Në mesin e pjesëmarrësve zakonisht janë presidenti në largim dhe nënpresidenti në largim dhe familjet e tyre; presidenti i zgjedhur dhe nënpresidenti i zgjedhur së bashku me familjet e tyre; ish-presidentët me bashkëshortet e tyre; anëtarë të kabinetit dhe të nominuar; 535 anëtarët e Kongresit; nëntë anëtarët e Gjykatës Supreme; ambasadorët e huaj; pjesëtarët e Shtabit të Përgjithshëm të ushtrisë; dhe të ftuar të tjerë, përfshirë këshilltarë dhe miq të ngushtë të presidentit në ardhje, por edhe donatorë të mëdhenj dhe të famshëm.
Të famshmit që raportohet se do të marrin pjesë në inaugurimin e Trumpit përfshijnë ish-kampionin e boksit, Mike Tyson, sikurse edhe atletë të tjerë dhe muzikantë.
Disa anëtarë demokratë të Kongresit, përfshirë Nancy Pelosin, një nga figurat më të fuqishme të partisë, është raportuar se nuk do të marrin pjesë në inaugurim.
Persona të tjerë të shquar që nuk do të marrin pjesë në këtë ngjarje përfshijnë edhe ish-zonjën e parë, Michele Obama.
Për shkak të motit të ftohtë, inaugurimi do të mbahet brenda ndërtesës së Kapitolit, për herë të parë që nga viti 1985. Kjo hapësirë zë vetëm afër 600 persona, që do të thotë se të ftuarit VIP nuk do të mund të jenë të pranishëm.
In addition to the inauguration, several other important events will take place before and after the swearing-in ceremony, including a dinner on January 19 attended by Trump and his wife, Melania. There will also be several inauguration balls held on the evening of January 20./REL
