With Donald Trump’s inauguration, US-China rivalry opens new and uncertain chapter
Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, marking a significant moment of geopolitical tension, particularly in US-China relations. His presidency is set against the backdrop of his controversial history, including being the first convicted felon to assume office, after being found guilty of 34 charges in New York related to the 2016 election.
This inauguration will be notable for several reasons, including being held indoors for the first time in 40 years due to severe weather. The ceremony will feature heightened security, with 30 miles of fencing around federal buildings and over 25,000 police and military personnel deployed, anticipating more than 200,000 visitors and numerous protesters. Trump's swearing-in at the US Capitol will include an oath, an inaugural address, and the signing of cabinet nominations, alongside a farewell to the outgoing president Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
