Donald Trump Sworn In as 47th U.S. President, Promises Immediate Action
By Kardo Roj
WASHINGTON, U.S. (North Press) – Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday as the 47th President of the United States, beginning his second term with a pledge to issue immediate executive orders addressing immigration, the economy, and border security.
The inauguration ceremony took place at the U.S. Capitol, marking the formal transfer of power. Trump, a Republican, succeeded outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden, who accompanied him to the Capitol in a show of bipartisan tradition. The two leaders arrived together in the same vehicle following a customary meeting at the White House for tea.
A Bold Start to a Second Term
Following the ceremony, Trump’s administration is set to implement a sweeping agenda. According to officials, he plans to sign approximately 100 executive orders within his first days in office, many aimed at reversing policies enacted during Biden’s presidency.
Key among these measures is a declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump has indicated that this will allow the military to play a more prominent role in border security operations.
In addition, his administration intends to end birthright citizenship, a constitutional guarantee that automatically grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Trump also plans to tighten restrictions on undocumented immigrants, signaling a significant shift in immigration policy.
Focus on Immigration and Border Security
The issue of border security was a cornerstone of Trump’s first term and remains a central focus of his second. The emergency declaration is expected to allocate additional resources to construct barriers and increase enforcement at the southern border, a move likely to reignite debates about immigration policy in Washington.
Economic Priorities
Trump’s administration also aims to address economic challenges by prioritizing deregulation and tax reform. Officials have hinted at upcoming measures designed to stimulate job growth and support domestic industries.
Polarizing Policies
While Trump’s supporters have praised his ambitious agenda as decisive leadership, critics argue that his policies risk deepening divisions within the United States. Human rights advocates and immigration reform groups have already voiced strong opposition to the proposed restrictions on birthright citizenship and undocumented immigrants.
A Historic Inauguration
Trump’s return to the White House marks a rare instance in modern U.S. history where a former president has successfully regained office after an electoral defeat. His inauguration has drawn significant attention both domestically and internationally, reflecting his enduring influence on American politics.
As Trump begins his second term, his administration’s actions will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of U.S. domestic and foreign policy in the coming years.
