Donald Trump Inauguration 2025 Live: Trump Takes Oath as 47th US President

Donald Trump has officially been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States during a historic inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC. The event, held indoors under the Capitol rotunda due to freezing temperatures, marks Trump's return to office following his controversial first term.

In his inaugural address, Trump pledged to "liberate the nation" from what he described as a "radical and corrupt establishment." He also previewed a series of immediate executive actions, including declaring a state of emergency at the US-Mexico border, signaling his administration’s focus on immigration policies.

The ceremony was notable for its unique setting and historical significance, as Trump is the first US president to assume office after facing criminal convictions. While he denounced the “weaponization” of the justice system during his speech, he also reaffirmed his intent to hold political adversaries accountable.

The inauguration attracted widespread global attention, with viewers tuning in live across different time zones, including Pakistan and the UK. This highly anticipated event marks a significant chapter in US politics as Donald Trump returns to the White House with bold promises for his second term.
