Donald Trump inaugurated as 47th President of the United States
Washington, January 20 (RHC) For the first time since 1985, very cold temperatures will deprive the United States to live the presidential inauguration ceremony outdoors, and Donald Trump will receive this Monday the mandate as 47th president from the Capitol.
It is not what he would have wished, obsessed as he is by the crowds, but he himself admitted that it was the most appropriate to avoid possible health problems among the participants and even the staff mobilized to ensure the events.
For several days, the capital of the country has been breathing a reinforcement of its security. The metal fences, almost three meters high, erected in the area of the Capitol, the White House and in general in dozens of arteries of the city, practically turn the city into a labyrinth or a cage.
Due to the recent episodes of violence and threats against the elected president, there is an unprecedented operation. More than 25 thousand police and military, as well as snipers and drones, watch from the air. In addition, there are at least 48 kilometers of barriers.
Despite the announcement of extreme weather, thousands of people are expected to mobilize in a demonstration called by pacifist groups, social movements and others.
This January 20, which also coincides with Martin Luther King. Jr. Day, a federal holiday, marks the return of the Republican to the executive mansion, after leaving without saying goodbye and without attending the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021 and then, despite everything, starring in a convincing victory in the elections of November 5.
Trump faced the Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris in an election in which nearly 240 million voters were eligible to vote, but which was decided by only seven key states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona).
At noon this Monday the Trump administration began its second season and among the most important actions it plans to issue dozens of executive actions during his first week in the Oval Office, but in his opinion it could reach more than 100 on the first day alone.
The actions would be aimed at increasing U.S. energy production, strengthening border security, reducing regulations, finding ways to maintain the use of Tik Tok in the country, and other policy priorities. (PL)
