Donald Trump Oath Takin Ceremony: Donald Trump is going to become the President of America for the second time. Trump will be sworn in as President of America on January 20, 2025. Trump’s swearing-in ceremony will take place at the Capitol Building in Washington DC. JD Vance will take oath as Vice President along with Trump.
America’s Chief Justice will administer the oath of office to Trump. Trump’s swearing-in ceremony will take place at 12 noon according to US time, that is, at 10:30 pm according to Indian time, Trump will take oath as the President of America. Donald Trump has currently reached Washington DC, where he will also address a rally at the Capital One Arena.
Swearing in ceremony will be held indoor
Earlier, the swearing-in ceremony was to be held on the West Front of the Capitol Building, but due to the extremely cold and bad weather in America, now the swearing-in ceremony will be held indoor. The temperature in Washington DC on January 20 is expected to range from minus 4 degrees to minus 11 degrees. Before Trump, in January 1985, Ronald Reagan had taken oath indoors as US President for the second time. After this, George H.W. Bush in 1989, Bill Clinton in 1993-1997, George Bush in 2001-2005, Barack Obama in 2009-2013 and Donald Trump in 2017 took oath from the West Front of the Capitol Building.
Why will Trump take oath on January 21 instead of 20?
The first swearing-in ceremony of a US President in the Capitol Building took place on March 4, 1801, when Thomas Jefferson was sworn in as US President. In America, January 20 is known as Inauguration Day. On this day the newly elected President and Vice President take oath. It is considered a formal ceremony, the tenure of the President of America begins on this day. But if 20th January is a Sunday then the oath taking ceremony is held on 21st January. Before 1933, the President of America used to take oath on March 4, but since then the date of oath was fixed on January 20.
Who is taking the responsibility of taking oath?
In America, the responsibility of the swearing-in ceremony of the President has been with JCCIC (The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremony) since 1901. On January 20, 2025, Biden will escort Donald Trump from the White House to the Capitol Building. First of all, JD Vance will take the oath of office as Vice President and Chief Justice Trump will administer the oath of office as President. Taking oath, the President of America says – ‘I solemnly swear that I will fulfill the responsibility of the post of President of America with all honesty. I will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States to the best of my ability.
S from India. Jaishankar will be included
Guests are arriving from all over the world to participate in Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will attend the swearing-in ceremony as the representative of the Government of India. During this time, Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will also meet with the Trump administration. Relations between India and America have always been excellent. The US Ambassador had recently said that the first meeting between Trump and Modi will be in Washington DC and the second meeting will be in India during the QUAD summit this year. Trump has also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi on many occasions. During his previous tenure, Trump had visited Gujarat, where Modi and Trump participated in a big program.
However, if Trump wins the election on the policy of America First, then India will definitely keep an eye on what his tariff policy will be regarding India. But one thing is very clear that India now talks to the world by keeping its interests ahead. Apart from this, Trump’s stance on visa policy was earlier strict but these days his stance regarding H1B visa can be seen softening.
What are the main agendas of Donald Trump?
If we look at some of Trump’s major agendas after becoming President, the issue of deporting illegal immigrants is the biggest among them. There is also a possibility that Trump may take a major decision related to this in the first week itself. In the US elections, Trump had raised the issue of deporting illegal immigrants and keeping America safe.
Apart from this, Trump can immediately visit Los Angeles, where everything has been ruined due to the massive fire. Another promise of Trump was that he would stop the Russia-Ukraine war. Now, it will be very important to see how Trump lives up to this promise. It also needs to be seen on what conditions the war between Russia and Ukraine stops. Whether Ukraine will stop its entry into NATO and Russia will withdraw from parts of Ukraine, what will be the formula, is not decided yet. However, there is also talk that Trump and Putin may meet soon, after which a lot will become clear.
One thing to be noted here is that even before Trump took power, there was a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Trump had made it clear that if the war does not stop, Hamas will have to suffer the consequences. The effect of this was that ceasefire was announced just a day before the oath taking ceremony. Trump’s biggest challenge will be to get America’s economy back on track. It will be interesting to see how Trump will increase job opportunities in America.
