Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2025, as the 47th president of the United States, marking a historic return to the Oval Office after serving as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. The inauguration ceremony took place under the Rotunda of the Capitol, modified due to freezing temperatures in Washington, D.C.

Following the swearing-in, President Trump conducted a 50-minute impromptu press conference at the Resolute Desk in the White House, where he signed multiple executive orders.

These included measures addressing immigration policies, climate agreements, and trade tariffs.

On immigration, President Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border with Mexico and announced the termination of the right to asylum and birthright citizenship, a move expected to face legal challenges due to constitutional protections.

He also ordered the resumption of the U.S.-Mexico border wall construction.

In terms of climate policy, Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and declared an "energy emergency" to boost domestic hydrocarbon production.

He vowed to "drill, baby, drill," prioritizing oil exploration over renewable energy projects.

Trade policy under Trump's new administration is expected to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, despite existing free trade agreements.

China is also targeted with proposed increases in tariffs.

Further controversial actions include plans to end federally recognized non-binary gender classifications and eliminate federal support for diversity programs.

President Trump also indicated intentions to pardon individuals convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

Trump's inauguration highlighted his continued alliance with major technology figures, with leaders from Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Tesla present at the ceremony.

The new administration signaled a future filled with aggressive policy shifts aimed at redefining U.S. domestic and foreign affairs.
