US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance did not receive invitations to attend the funeral of former Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a CNN report citing a source familiar with the matter. Former presidents George W. Bush and Joe Biden will pay their respects, along with former vice presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Dan Quayle, the news outlet stated.

Trump will not attend Cheney’s funeral and was not asked to speak at the service, USA Today reported, citing a senior White House official. According to the official, the President “was not aware of anyone else on his staff going” to the invitation-only ceremony scheduled for November 20 at the Washington National Cathedral.

Cheney, who died earlier this month, will receive full military honours.
