It is another historic day for the United States as the nation is set to swear in its 47th President, Donald Trump who is returning for a second time as President.
Trump’s incoming administration indicates he will declare a “national emergency” at the US-Mexico border, along with a host of other executive actions – which will be announced later today
Ahead of Trump entering office, Biden issues pre-emptive pardons for several figures “threatened with criminal prosecutions”, including Dr Anthony Fauci and officers who testified over the Capitol riot
Earlier, Trump attended a church service alongside some of the most powerful tech moguls in the world – Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai and Apple’s Tim Cook.
The inauguration, ceremony which is traditionally held outside the US Capitol, has been moved indoors due to a forecast of freezing temperatures with a wind chill of -13C (9F)
In his final rally yesterday, Trump promised to sign a number of executive orders on his first day as president.
The outgoing President, Joe Biden and Trump have now arrived at Capitol for the inauguration which has just begun few minutes ago.
