Trump is sworn in as 47th US. President
Donald Trump has been sworn in for a second term as president of the United States at noon local time (17:00 GMT) in Washington, DC.
Trump used his inaugural address to reiterate his grievances against his political opponents, saying he would “liberate” the country from a “radical and corrupt establishment”.
His speech also previewed the slate of executive actions he planned to take in the coming days, including declaring a state of emergency at the southern border with Mexico.
Trump, the first US president convicted of criminal charges, also denounced the “weaponisation” of the justice system, though he himself has threatened to jail political opponents.
His speech has also drawn international backlash, as Trump announced once again the US is “taking back” the Panama Canal, part of Panama’s territory.
