Meloni is also coming
FPÖ attends Trump’s inauguration – but not Kickl
On Monday, US President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in - the FPÖ is also sending a representative, but party leader Herbert Kickl is foregoing a trip to the United States. Instead, FPÖ Member of the National Council Susanne Fürst will attend the inauguration at the Capitol.
Traditionally, no foreign leaders attend the swearing-in of the US President. However, Trump has broken with this tradition. Kickl is busy enough with the coalition negotiations, so Fürst will make the trip in his place. "Austria first, that also applies to me in this case," he explained.
Meloni is traveling to Trump for the second time this year
She will meet another right-wing politician who already has good contacts with Trump. Italy's right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will also be present at the inauguration. She made a flying visit to the USA earlier this year and was received by Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has also been invited. However, it was unclear whether Orban would attend. China's head of state Xi Jinping also received an invitation, but Beijing is sending Vice President Han Zheng.
