Donald Trump Set to Return as the 47th President of the United States
Trump's Second Term Begins Amid Plans for Immigration Changes and Economic Reforms
Donald Trump is scheduled to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking a significant political comeback.
His inauguration follows a series of legal and political battles, including impeachments and criminal indictments.
Trump's return to power in the White House is accompanied by the Republican Party's full control of the federal government.
Trump's administration has prepared several executive orders aimed at implementing key policy changes immediately after the inauguration ceremony.
These include measures to revamp U.S. immigration policy, such as ending asylum access and rescinding birthright citizenship.
Some of these proposals are likely to be challenged in court due to their controversial nature.
In addition to immigration overhauls, Trump plans to prioritize economic measures such as expanding fossil fuel development and adjusting civil service protections.
His administration also intends to revive first-term policies on border security, specifically Title 42 provisions, and initiate changes in domestic energy policy and federal workforce management.
The inauguration ceremony will be held at the Capitol Rotunda due to inclement weather, with an indoor event replacing the traditional outdoor parade.
Trump and his wife, Melania, participated in a morning prayer service at St. John's Episcopal Church, prior to the ceremony.
Former President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden formally received the Trumps at the White House, a customary gesture before the formal transition of power at the Capitol.
Trump's political journey back to the presidency is unprecedented in American history, following his initial term and contentious departure.
During his second term, Trump intends to implement broad changes to U.S. policy, both domestically and internationally, adhering to his "America First" doctrine.
This comes amid ongoing global geopolitical tensions, including the protracted conflict in Ukraine and a fragile ceasefire in Gaza.
The White House Cabinet for Trump's second term will include prominent figures such as Elon Musk and other notable business leaders.
The administration aims to strengthen U.S. economic interests and enact tariff measures, signaling potential shifts in trade and climate policies.
A recent Associated Press-NORC poll indicates mixed public support for Trump's agenda, highlighting varying levels of approval for his policy pledges.
As Trump embarks on his second term, he faces both domestic and international scrutiny over his planned initiatives and governance strategies.
