In his first hours as the nation’s 47th president, President Trump signed dozens of executive orders, as he promised he would do.
The Day One orders affect immigration processes, grant clemency to people convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot; erase Biden administration changes to the country; pull back from international alliances and give a TikTok ban an extension.
Trump gave the first of three addresses in the Capitol Rotunda after he was sworn in at noon. A second speech, less scripted, happened shortly afterward in Emancipation Hall in front of the Rotunda overflow crowd. Ahead of signing executive orders, Trump spoke to the parade crowd.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump were set to attend three inaugural balls on Monday night.
Inauguration events kicked off Saturday, when the former and future president returned to Washington. He, along with Vice President-elect JD Vance, have been feted in receptions and a victory rally.
Follow along all day for updates on the day’s events.
