With U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration just over a month away, the guest list will include figures from various fields, from Chinese President Xi Jinping to longtime professional wrestling star Hulk Hogan.

The British daily Telegraph diagnosed on the 15th local time that "the showcase event to announce the launch of Trump's second term will be a mixture of show business and high-level diplomacy."

President Xi is by far the most prominent guest at the inauguration ceremony of the 47th president in Washington, DC, on January 20 next year.

Even before the launch of the second period, Trump warned of a tariff bomb on China, sending flares to the second round of the U.S.-China trade war, but confirmed Xi's invitation, saying it is an example of "opening open dialogue."It is unclear whether President

will actually attend, but if it does, it will be the first time a foreign leader will attend the inauguration of a U.S. president.Attention is also being paid to whether far-right foreign leaders, dubbed

the 'second Trump', will attend.

Argentine President Javier Milay has been invited by Trump on an unofficial route and will attend the inauguration, local media reported.

Italy's Prime Minister Jorja Meloni and El Salvador's President Naive Bukele are also known to have been invited, but it is not known whether they will actually make it.

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban Viktor, the "strongman" of Europe, said earlier this month that he had no plans to attend the inauguration after flying to Mar-a-Lago, Florida, to face Trump.

In the field of pop culture, pro-Trump figures are also on the list of attendees.

There is a high possibility that Hulk Hogan, a former professional wrestler who took to the campaign stage during his time as candidate Trump and performed his unique "t-shirt tearing."

Hollywood stars Sylvester Stallone and John Voight are also mentioned as candidates for attendance.

On the sports front, Bryson DeChambeau, who has been rounding with Trump, a "golf lover," is likely on the list.

Officially, ambassadors to the U.S. from each country will be invited, the preparatory committee for the inauguration said earlier.

Also expected to attend are Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has emerged as a "top contributor" to his second term in office by sponsoring large sums of money to the Trump campaign.
