Donald Trump was sworn in for a remarkable second presidential term on Monday. He vowed to rapidly execute orders on immigration reform and US culture even as he rests on the shoulders of the extraordinary comeback he made in the White House.

 

The 47th president of the US, Trump, placed his left hand on his Bible while his right hand was raised. He solemnly took the oath of presidency beneath the massive dome of the US Capitol. Kamala Harris and former presidents were thanked before Trump began his speech with the promise that America’s golden age would start right at that moment.

 

Global Leaders React to His White House Comeback

 

Global leaders, including the heads of NATO and the European Union, congratulated U.S. President Donald Trump on his return to the White House.

 

Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO, noted that ‘with Trump winning the elections, there will certainly be an increase in defence spending and production.’ This likely refers to Trump’s expectation that European nations would shoulder more of their self-defence burden.

 

He also remarked on how achieving peace through strength was possible: ‘I wish to extend my warm congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on his inauguration as 47th President of the USA and to @JDVance as Vice President.’ This was done while Trump’s somewhat controversial claims about NATO have emerged.

 

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer remarked: “For centuries, the relations between our two nations have been a path of partnership, cooperation, and work of goodwill. Together, we have defended the world from tyranny and worked at establishing a sound basis for both of our nations’ collective security and prosperity.”

 

“With the warm history of affection and relations that President Trump has maintained with the U.K., I am sure the bond will keep strengthening,” he added.

 

“The EU is looking forward to cooperating closely with you to work on global challenges ahead. Together, our societies can prosper more and build their common security. This is the abiding strength of the transatlantic partnership.”

 

Erdogan issued a statement: “We will do whatever is necessary to end the war between Russia and Ukraine since Mr. Trump repetitively expressed his intention to become the solution to that.”
