Donald Trump has taken the oath of office to become the 47th president of the United States, marking his return to the White House four years after leaving it in defeat.
This is Trump's second presidency, after serving from 2017 to 2021. He is the first president in more than a century to win a second term after losing the White House and the first felon to occupy it. At 78, Trump is the oldest president ever to be sworn in, and he is backed by Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress.
In his inaugural speech on Monday, Trump vowed a new \"golden age\" for America. He promised a slew of measures addressing issues from the Mexican border to defining gender identity and ending U.S. participation in the fight against global warming.
