Did trump invite the 'enemy' and ignore the 'friend'?

Trump's close friend Modi not invited to the oath-taking ceremony? Why? US President donald trump has expressed his special admiration for indian Prime minister Modi on many occasions. Why? Modi even tried to win trump a second term in the elections held in late 2020. Before that election, Modi visited the US as if to indirectly support Trump. After trump took office as president, Modi wrote a letter addressing him as a dear friend. He congratulated Trump. He said that he looks forward to working with trump again to benefit the US and india and to make the world a better place. Meanwhile, External Affairs minister jaishankar went to Trump's swearing-in as Modi's representative. He handed over a letter written by Modi to Trump. Was Modi invited to Trump's swearing-in? Or not? It is a big dilemma. However, it is customary to send indian representatives to the swearing-in ceremony of heads of government abroad. jaishankar went like this. Among the attendees were big leaders, friends as well as enemies, friends, and bitter adversaries of the world. Although the trump office has not released the list, there are many speculations about the guest list.
During the COVID outbreak in 2020, trump severely criticized China. He described COVID-19 as the Chinese virus. But this time, trump invited Chinese President Xi jinping for the swearing-in. This is why the 'close friend' Modi was not invited. Questions arose. Did he invite the 'enemy' and ignore the 'friend'? The opinion is expressed. This is a 'personal diplomacy with rivals'. ''Jinping is a very important leader for America in terms of the partnership,'' he said. Meanwhile, trump is said to be giving high priority to friendship with china in this term. The reason for this is that he considers completely giving up trade relations with china to be a serious loss for America. There are analyses that trump 2.0 will focus on international issues. He has set a goal of ending the Israel-Hamas war, which has already reached a boiling point, as well as the three-year-old Ukraine-Russia war.

Relations with china are Trump's biggest challenge going forward. That is why there is an opinion that jinping was invited. It is said that this was done to send signals that there is a chance for talks.
