Washington DC: Donald Trump was inaugurated for a historic second term as President on Monday, pledging to implement a series of immediate executive orders addressing immigration and cultural issues in the United States, marking his remarkable political resurgence. JD Vance was also sworn in as Vice President during the ceremony.
With one hand raised and the other resting on a Bible gifted by his mother, Trump, the 47th President of the United States, took the oath of office under the grand Rotunda of the US Capitol.
Trump secured a landmark victory in the November election last year, defeating Democratic opponent Kamala Harris by a decisive margin in what many had anticipated to be a closely contested race. His return to the presidency is a pivotal moment in American history, as he becomes only the second leader to serve non-consecutive terms in office.
