Donald Trump began his second term as the 47th president of the United States with bold promises of a “golden age” for America. In his inaugural speech at the US Capitol, Trump vowed to fix what he called a “broken” society.
Trump announced sweeping immigration changes, including a national emergency at the southern border, mass deportations, and an end to birthright citizenship. Legal experts predict immediate court challenges to these measures.
The president also declared a government policy recognizing only two genders, ending federal diversity programs and gender-neutral policies. Critics anticipate legal battles over these changes.
Trump further hinted at taking back control of the Panama Canal, accusing China of exerting influence over the key waterway.
