Argentinian President Javier Milei is planning to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

On Tuesday, a spokesperson for Milei confirmed that he will be attending Trump’s inauguration in January.

Milei, a Libertarian, is reportedly the first world leader expected to be in Washington, D.C., for the January 20^th event, though arrangements are also underway for others to join him as well.

Last week, CBS News reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping, whom Trump personally invited to the inauguration, is unlikely to attend.
