Donald Trump has officially taken the oath of office, marking his return to the White House for a second term as President of the United States.
The swearing-in ceremony took place on Monday 20th January, 2025 in Washington.
In his inaugural address, Trump vowed to focus on policies that prioritize national interests, economic growth, and security, promising to “make America greater than ever before.”
He also thanked his supporters for their unwavering loyalty and expressed optimism about the future of the nation.
Trump’s return to power follows a highly polarized political landscape, with his campaign focusing heavily on issues such as economic recovery, border security, and national defence.
As he begins his second term, Trump is expected to announce a series of executive orders and policy priorities aimed at fulfilling key campaign promises.
The administration has also hinted at immediate action on issues such as energy independence, immigration reform, and trade negotiations.
The event marks a historic moment in U.S. politics, as Trump becomes one of the few presidents to secure a second, non-consecutive term in office.
Trump govt to recognize only two biological sexes
Meanwhile, a senior official from Donald Trump’s incoming administration announced on Monday that the U.S. government will adopt a policy recognizing only two biological sexes—male and female.
This statement was made ahead of Trump’s presidential inauguration.
“The policy of the United States will be to acknowledge two sexes: male and female,” the official stated.
Additionally, Trump plans to eliminate federal diversity programs upon assuming office.
The official highlighted that such initiatives, including a Treasury Department training program, had promoted ideas like all white individuals contributing to racism regardless of personal beliefs.
“We’re going to put an end to funding these diversity programs,” the official said, signalling a significant shift in government policy.
