Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th United States President.
Newsone Nigeria reports that Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
This online news platform understands that the 60th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony day began with Trump and the First Lady, Melania attending services at St. John’s Church, marking the start of the official inauguration activities.
The swearing-in ceremony took place indoors at the US Capitol, a departure from tradition due to extremely cold weather conditions.
First, JD Vance, United States Vice President-elect, who represented Ohio in the US Senate from 2023 to 2025, took his oath of office.
Subsequently, Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to Trump at 12 p.m. ET, with First Lady Melania Trump by his side during the ceremony.
The event was attended by a limited audience due to the indoor setting, with approximately 700 guests present, significantly fewer than the anticipated 250,000.
