Trump praise
Schallenberg to be represented by ambassador
Interim Chancellor Alexander Schneeberger will not be attending Donald Trump's inauguration. He will be represented at the ceremony on January 20 by the ambassador in Washington, Petra Schneeberger.
This is actually in line with long-standing practice, which Trump has broken by inviting selected heads of state and government. It was only on Thursday that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Argentinian President Javier Milei announced their intention to attend Trump's inauguration in Washington on January 20.
Both have a good relationship with Trump. Meloni paid the future US president a lightning visit to his private residence Mar-a-Lago in the state of Florida just last weekend. Milei has already met Trump several times, including in February and November last year.
Orbán "still thinking about it"
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is also part of the select circle. However, it was recently reported from Budapest that the head of government had "not yet decided" whether he would actually make the trip. China's head of state Xi Jinping reportedly wants to send a "high-ranking representative" to Washington.
