Trump vows to act at historic speed to fix 'every single crisis facing US'

On the eve of his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump promised his supporters and countrymen that he will act at historic speed to fix every single crisis facing the United States. "Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country. We have to do it," Trump told his supporters at the Capitol One Arena, which was full to its capacity of 20,000 for a "Make America Great" victory celebration, with a large number of people waiting outside in chilling cold. Trump, 78, made a stunning comeback when he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in last year's general election to become only the second person in US history to be sworn in as the president after a gap of four years. Trump, who will replace Joe Biden as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, arrived at the US Capitol on Saturday.

Biden's UN envoy says rivals will fill vacuum if Trump abandons leadership

The outgoing US ambassador to the United Nations says she watched America's leadership diminish in the world during Donald Trump's first presidency and China fill the vacuum. Linda Thomas-Greenfield is warning that if it happens again during Trump's second term, adversaries will move in anew. In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Thomas-Greenfield said during Joe Biden's presidency, the United States again engaged with the world, rebuilt alliances and reestablished America's leadership. That is the gift that we hand over to the next administration, she said, and I hope that they will accept that gift in the spirit in which it is being given to them. Advice to Trump's choice for UN ambassador In a brief meeting with Trump's nominee, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, Thomas-Greenfield told her that the UN is important, and that it is important that we not cede any space to our adversaries. Those rivals will change the rules of the road," she warned. "And so, US ...

Trump-aligned group hints at blueprint to target 'sanctuary' jurisdictions

The ominous letters went to hundreds of state and local officials across the US two days before Christmas. It was a potential blueprint for how the Trump administration may attack sanctuary jurisdictions that resist mass deportations. They threatened criminal prosecutions and lawsuits going after officials' personal finances. They invoked RICO, the federal statute often used to fight organized crime. You and your subordinates could potentially face up to 20 years in prison, America First Legal, a group led by current and former advisors to President-elect Donald Trump, said in the letter. Its president, Stephen Miller, will be deputy chief of policy in the new administration and is a longtime architect of Trump's immigration policies. The letters' targets: city, county and state officials in America's sanctuary jurisdictions, a term rooted in medieval laws that today encompasses a range of protection for immigrants, particularly those living in the U.S. illegally. Sanctuary ...

Trump in Washington for inaugural celebrations; to sign 100 orders on day 1

Donald Trump arrived in Washington Saturday evening to celebrate with family, supporters and political allies ahead of his second inauguration, a triumphant return for the Republican four years after he departed the city under the shadow of an attack by his supporters on the Capitol. Trump's celebration of his return to power was set to get underway on Saturday evening with a fireworks showcase at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, about 30 miles outside Washington. He arrived in Washington as organisers of Monday's Inauguration Day ceremony were scrambling to move inside most of the outdoor events, including the swearing-in of president and vice president that traditionally takes place on the steps of the US Capitol, due to forecasted frigid temperatures. It will be the first time since President Ronald Reagan took the oath of office in 1985 for his second term that the ceremony will be moved inside the US Capitol. Trump made his way from West Palm, Florida, with

Thousands protest in Washington DC against Trump ahead of inauguration

Thousands of people from across the country gathered in the American Capital two days before the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States on January 20. Trump, 78, succeeds Joe Biden, 82, on Tuesday as the new occupant of the White House.

Displaying anti-Trump posters and banner, the protestors raised slogans against the next President and also against some of his close supporters including Tesla owner Elon Musk. The same group had also held a similar protest on January 2017, when Trump was inaugurated for the first time. There were a series of three protests which started from three different parks and culminated near the Lincoln Memorial.

Mexico, EU revamp trade deal before Trump takes office with tariff threats

Mexico and the European Union on Friday announced a revamped trade agreement that they said would substantially increase trade and investment, days before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, who has threatened to slap sweeping tariffs on Mexico and other trading partners. The new Global Trade Agreement between Mexico and the 27-nation bloc would reduce Mexican tariffs of agri-food imports from Europe, remove a number of barriers that would allow European companies to more easily invest in Mexico and boost Mexican exports of raw materials like fluorspar (used in electronics) as well as antimony, copper, zinc and lead. The updated deal, which first entered into force 25 years ago, also seeks to facilitate strategic cooperation on key geopolitical issues, the European Union said in a statement. We have entered a new era in our strategic partnership with Mexico today. Our upgraded agreement shows the EU and Mexico united for freer trade and an open global economy," said

Donald Trump Jr. said his father will be naming Sean Curran, who heads the president-elect's personal detail as special agent in charge, to be Secret Service director.

The agency has been under scrutiny and pressure after Trump was wounded in the assassination attempt at a July 13, 2024, rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and after a second failed assassination attempt at his Florida golf course on September 15.
