Donald Trump is set to be sworn in for his second term as President of the United States on Monday at 12:00 EST (17:00 GMT) in Washington DC. However, due to forecasts of severe cold with wind chills plunging to -13°C, the ceremony has been moved indoors from the traditional site outside the US Capitol.
After taking the oath of office, President Trump will deliver an address to the nation, outlining his vision for the next four years. Following the speech, he is expected to participate in a parade across Washington, leading to the White House, before attending three inaugural balls later in the evening.
An estimated 200,000 supporters are anticipated to visit the capital for the event, despite the cold weather, to celebrate the continuation of Trump’s presidency.
At his final pre-inauguration rally yesterday, Trump reiterated his commitment to hit the ground running, promising to sign a wave of 200 executive orders on his first day back in office. The actions are expected to cover a wide range of issues, signaling his intention to swiftly implement his agenda.
