Security and Special Preparations for the Inauguration

On Monday, Donald Trump will become the 47th President of the United States of America. 76 days after winning the election back in November last year, he will be appointed in an inauguration ceremony in Washington DC. But what actually happens at an inauguration?

The BBC’s Nathalia Jimenez tells us all you need to know about the ceremony and why it takes so long to become President of the United States after winning the election.

This is not the first time Donald Trump has become President; he was also in charge between 2016 and 2020. Nathalia explains how his second term could be different from his first and what his priorities are when he sits down at his desk.
