Washington, D.C., January 20, 2025 — Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States in a ceremony held inside the Capitol Rotunda, marking his return to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term.

Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office, while Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh swore in Vice President JD Vance.

Inaugural Address Highlights

In his address, President Trump declared the onset of a “golden age” for America, emphasizing themes of unity, resilience, and national renewal. He outlined plans to boost domestic oil production, impose tariffs to protect American industries, and unify the country under an “America First” agenda. Additionally, he pledged to take strong action on immigration, including declaring cartels as terrorists and deploying troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Immediate Executive Actions

Following the ceremony, President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at implementing his campaign promises:

Immigration: Declared a national emergency at the Mexican border and initiated steps to end birthright citizenship.

Energy Policy: Reinstated fossil fuel drilling and withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords, signaling a shift in environmental policy.

Trade: Announced intentions to renegotiate international trade agreements and impose tariffs to revitalize American manufacturing.

Justice: Issued pardons for individuals convicted in relation to the January 6 Capitol events, fulfilling a campaign commitment.

The inauguration drew a diverse audience, including former presidents, political figures, and international dignitaries. Reactions to President Trump’s address and initial actions have been mixed. Supporters praise his decisive approach to policy changes, while critics express concern over potential implications for immigration, environmental standards, and international relations.

As President Trump embarks on his second term, the nation anticipates significant policy shifts and legislative initiatives. The administration’s approach to pressing issues such as immigration reform, economic revitalization, and foreign policy will be closely monitored in the coming months.
