Donald Trump begins a second term, pledging sweeping reforms, bold executive actions, and a reshaped U.S. role on the global stage.
Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as U.S. president today, marking the beginning of another eventful four-year term. His agenda includes plans to expand executive authority, deport millions of immigrants, seek retribution against political adversaries, and redefine the U.S.'s global role.
This inauguration signifies a remarkable comeback for Trump, who faced two impeachment trials, a felony conviction, two assassination attempts, and charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The ceremony, set for noon (17:00 GMT) in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, has been moved indoors due to extreme cold, marking the first indoor swearing-in in four decades.
Trump's return to office makes him the first president since the 19th century to win a second term after a previous electoral defeat. His pledge to pardon individuals charged in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack is among several immediate actions planned, alongside executive orders addressing immigration, energy, and trade tariffs.
At a rally on Sunday, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to imposing strict immigration measures on his first day.
Entering office with Republican control of Congress, Trump is poised to implement sweeping changes, replacing nonpartisan officials with loyalists and reshaping the federal government. His administration has drawn comparisons to the late 19th century, a time of significant economic and societal transformation, with Jeremi Suri highlighting its parallels to the current era.
Trump’s influence is already evident in international negotiations, including a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Although he promised to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict on his first day, advisors suggest a resolution will take months.
Supported by Elon Musk, who spent over $250 million to back his campaign, Trump has also garnered attention from other tech industry leaders attending his inauguration. His initial travel plans include a visit to wildfire-affected areas in Los Angeles County later this week.
