Donald Trump Inauguration Highlights: The Chinese Foreign Ministry said Trump had spoken to Xi Jinping over call on Friday night. The president-elect confirmed on Truth Social that he had spoken with Xi and said “the call was a very good one for both China and the USA."

Donald Trump is set to return to the White House as he is all set for his second inauguration as president of the United States. Trump will be formally inaugurated as 47th president of the United States on January 20, Monday. Trump who won the US Presidential elections second time is taking over from the incumbent President Joe Biden.

Trump,78 defeated Kamala Harris in the election, after Biden withdrew from the race. Trump would be sworn in along with J D Vance, the Vice President. They will take oath of office with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in Washington DC, at noon Eastern Time, January 20 (10.30 PM, IST), in front of thousands of people.

The swearing-in would formally kick off with fireworks on January 18, Saturday. The four-day schedule also includes three VIP events at Trump’s golf course outside Washington DC and a Make America Great Again (MAGA) victory rally on the eve of the swearing-in ceremony.

The event promises to be a high-profile event, with several global leaders and influential figures confirming their attendance. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar will represent India at the inauguration, following an invitation from the Trump-Vance inaugural committee.

Ahead of Trump's inauguration, President Biden gave his farewell address to the nation on Wednesday night. The outgoing president highlighted his concerns about "dangerous concentration of power" among a few wealthy people and said that ‘dark money should be taken out of politics’.

The speech pointed at the Biden administration's achievements in the past four years. The speech assumes significance as Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire deal and the return of some hostages, something Biden has been painstakingly working on since the war began.

Donald Trump Inauguration: Incoming govt hopes to ‘keep TikTok from going dark’

Donald Trump Inauguration: The US President-elect insisted during a CNN interview on Friday that the TikTok ban decision would be up to him. The US Supreme Court on Friday upheld a law that will ban TikTok in the United States, potentially denying the video-sharing app to 170 million users in two days.

Trump's incoming national security advisor Mike Waltz also said on Thursday that the administration would put in place measures "to keep TikTok from going dark."

"The legislation allows for an extension as long as a viable deal is on the table. Essentially that buys president Trump time to keep TikTok going. It's been a great platform for him and his campaign to get his America first message out. But at the same time, he wants to protect (users') data," he said.

Donald Trump Inauguration: Biden won't enforce TikTok ban, official says, leaving fate of app to Trump

President Joe Biden won't enforce a ban on the social media app TikTok that is set to take effect a day before he leaves office on Monday, a U.S. official said Thursday, leaving its fate in the hands of President-elect Donald Trump.
