Trump in inauguration speech declared the beginning of a "golden age" for the U.S.
US President Donald Trump on January 20 after taking the oath of office announced the beginning of the "golden age of America".
"The Golden Age of America begins right now," Trump said in his inauguration speech, which was broadcast on CNN.
He added that he will put America first, noting that the country will be bigger, stronger and far more exceptional than ever before. Trump also noted that he was "saved by God to make America great again" during the first assassination attempt.
In addition, the new U.S. president promised to quickly bring hope, security and peace back to Americans.
"We will move deliberately and quickly to restore hope, prosperity, security, and peace for citizens of all races, religions, colors, and creeds - for American citizens. January 20, 2025 is a day of liberation," the American leader added.
In addition, he assured that the country's sovereignty will be returned and there will be a balance on the "scales of justice." Trump also noted that he intends to stop the cruel and dishonest use of the Justice Department and the government as "weapons."
The American leader noted that his return to the White House would end a period of crisis and usher in a new era of national success. He emphasized that the competence and integrity of the U.S. government has been restored, and pointed out that his re-election is a mandate to finally eliminate treachery and return to the people their freedom, trust and well-being.
The inauguration ceremony of the US President was held in the rotunda of the Capitol building - the first time in 40 years the event was not held outdoors.
