Guests include Chinese vice president, leaders of Italy, Argentina, Ecuador and heads of European far-right parties. President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in today in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in front of a number of world leaders and other guests as he becomes the 47th president.

Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance are set to take the oath of office during a day that will include celebrations such as musical performances and a parade. Trump is breaking with tradition, inviting several foreign leaders, both allies and rivals. U.S. inaugurations are usually not attended by foreign world leaders; other countries tend to be represented by foreign ministers and ambassadors.

Today’s event is also unusual in that the proceedings will take place indoors, not outside, facing the National Mall because of the frigid temperatures. Here are some of the world leaders and other guests attending the inauguration:. Argentinian President Javier Milei, who visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club last month, is attending. Trump has called Milei a man who can “make Argentina great again.”.

While Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping, he will not attend. China is instead represented by Vice President Han Zheng. Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni is in Washington for the inauguration. The leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party visited Mar-a-Lago earlier this month.
