LIVE – “A calamity”: invested in a few hours, Donald Trump is already creating controversy

An icy wind has been blowing across Washington for several days. Temperatures, around -10 degrees, do not allow Donald Trump to take the oath of office in the open air, like his predecessors. The ceremony, which begins at 5:30 p.m. (Belgian time), is therefore held under the dome of the Capitol, the same where on January 6, 2021, his supporters tried to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory.

From 200,000 to 250,000 curious people were initially expected at the transfer of power ceremony. But the figure is expected to be lower given the climatic conditions and the numerous warnings issued.
