Donald Trump has been sworn in for a historic second term as the 47th President of the United States, marking his extraordinary comeback.
The inauguration ceremony took place at the US Capitol, where Trump was joined by his family, cabinet members, and notable figures like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos.
Trump’s return to power is significant, as he becomes the oldest president to be sworn in and the second president in US history to return to power after being voted out, following Grover Cleveland in 1893.
During his inaugural speech, Trump pledged to implement a series of executive orders, focusing on immigration and the US culture wars. Some of the key policies include declaring a National Emergency at the Mexico border, ending birthright citizenship, and recognizing only two biological sexes.
The event was attended by several former US presidents, including Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. However, some notable figures, like former First Lady Michelle Obama, chose not to attend.
As Trump begins his second term, the world is bracing for potential changes in US policy, including trade tariffs, territorial disputes, and shifts in global alliances. Russian President Vladimir Putin has already congratulated Trump and expressed interest in discussing the Ukraine conflict.
