President-elect Donald Trump will launch his triumphant return to the White House next week with an inauguration that breaks the mold, beginning with an invite list of foreign dignitaries and technology billionaires.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon Chairman Jeff Bezos are reportedly on the guest list. Each donated $1 million to the Trump inaugural fund and visited the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago home. They will sit alongside fellow billionaire and Trump adviser Elon Musk on the viewing stand steps from where Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will administer the oath of office to Mr. Trump at noon on Monday.

Mr. Trump also invited world leaders whose politics align with his.

They include Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, Argentine President Javier Milei and conservative Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. He also invited former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who said he would attend if he could retrieve his passport, which his government seized.

She said Tuesday that Mr. Trump did not invite Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Mr. Trump is threatening to impose 25% tariffs on Mexican imports if the country does not take action to curb illegal immigration and drugs pouring into the U.S.
