Trump taking the oath of office as 47th US president Monday, January 20, 2025
Donald Trump was minutes ago sworn in as the 47th US president.
?The golden age of America begins right now,? he said in his address, adding that the country will ?flourish and be respected? under his leadership as a ?peacemaker and a unifier?.
Trump also hit out at the Biden administration and its handling of the migrant crisis, saying the country has a crisis of ?trust? in its government.
Tech billionaires, cabinet nominees and former presidents were all at the ceremony in the rotunda of the US Capitol.
Minutes before Trump took the oath, Joe Biden issued pardons for members of his family.
Trump is set to declare a ?national emergency? at the US-Mexico border, declare drug cartels as terrorists, and scrap government diversity programmes as part of a blitz of executive orders in the coming hours.
But he won?t announce tariffs on trade partners today, officials said. (BBC, but headline rejigged)
