Vice president-elect JD Vance met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng Sunday morning, the Trump transition team said.

The leaders discussed "a range of topics including fentanyl, balancing trade, and regional stability," a release from the transition team said.

In a historic first, Han is attending Trump's inauguration on Monday. His attendance comes after Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to the ceremony.

Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and two Gold Star family members paid their respects in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday.

As a fine mist fell on attendees, Trump placed the first wreath on a stand before Vance placed the second. A woman placed the third wreath and the final one was laid by a man on crutches who appeared to have lost his right arm and left leg.

Trump saluted as the changing of the guard took place and Vance placed his hand over his heart.

Trump's team has drafted a list of potential pardons for Jan. 6 defendants to issue on Day 1, sources familiar with the matter say.

The pardons could come very soon after Trump is sworn in. One option that has been discussed is to issue these pardons inside the Capitol, a move that carries some ominous symbolism given the assaults on officers that day by many rioters seeking to overturn the 2020 election.

The plan for these pardons is still very fluid, as Trump himself indicated to ABC News' Rachel Scott on Saturday, and the extent of the list is not clear.

Trump wouldn't commit to pardons on Day 1, but told Scott they would be coming "very shortly."
