The inauguration, which took place at the US Capitol Rotunda building due -3C temperatures, follows four tumultuous years out of office which saw the 78-year-old Republican businessman and ex-reality star survive assassination attempts and face a series of legal cases.
We asked Mike Rogers, chief security analyst, west, at US-based International SOS, about heightened security arrangements around the ceremony. Among Trump’s policy priorities include a promise to sign around 100 executive orders on his first day in office, including those on oil drilling, the US-Mexico border and gender identity policies, plus the release of classified documents on the John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations.
In London, anti-nuclear campaigners and climate activists protested against the presidency. A judge previously sentenced Trump to an “unconditional discharge” in a hush-money payment case, which will still mean he is the first US president with a felony conviction.
