On Monday, US President-elect Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States of America. J.D. Vance, in turn, was sworn in as Trump’s deputy.
For the second time, Trump entered the White House after the end of his first term in 2021, as his inauguration ceremony was held between the Capitol and the White House in the presence of hundreds of dignitaries from around the world. The ceremony was held indoors, unlike usual, due to the severe weather conditions on this day.
Below is a review of the most prominent photos taken during this unique event in American history.
