Trump to be sworn in for 2nd term as U.S. president
After taking the oath of office, Trump will deliver his inaugural speech as the 47th President of the United States of America.

Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as president of the United States in Washington on Monday, returning to the White House for a second term four years after his initial re-election bid ended in defeat.
Trump, a Republican, will replace outgoing President Joe Biden in the top U.S. political office at noon (1900 GMT), two and a half months after defeating outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris in the U.S. presidential election.
Biden had defeated Trump in 2020, but stepped aside as the Democratic candidate mid-campaign in July amid intense concerns about his age and mental fitness.

Biden, on the other hand, is set to attend the ceremony as per tradition.
In the morning, Trump is scheduled to attend a service at St. John’s Church in Washington.
After the swearing-in ceremony, the Bidens are then set to receive the Trumps for tea at the White House.
