Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency again Monday. He took the oath of office inside the U.S. Capitol as 47th President.

He called for a “revolution of common sense” during his inaugural address, and he said he would start signing a raft of executive orders to reshape the American political landscape to his liking.

“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said.

On a frigid day in Washington, Trump, accompanied by his wife Melania, Vice President-elect JD Vance and their families, began his second inaugural day eight years after his first by attending a traditional service for incoming presidents at St. John’s Episcopal Church across a park from the White House.

It is only the second time an American president has served a second nonconsecutive term after Grover Cleveland in the 1890s.

Trump, at 78, is the oldest person ever inaugurated as president, eclipsing Biden who was five months younger when he took the oath four years ago. Vance, 40, was sworn in as the 50th vice president and the third youngest in history.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar represented India at the Swearing-In Ceremony of the 47th President of the United States of America in Washington DC.

In his social media post, the Minister wrote that he is privileged to represent as External Affairs Minister and Special Envoy of PM  at the event. Earlier, he attended the Inauguration Day Prayer Service at St John’s Church this morning.
