Historic Inauguration: PM Modi Congratulates Donald Trump
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended warm congratulations to Donald Trump as he took the oath of office on Monday, becoming the 47th president of the United States. In a heartfelt message on X, PM Modi expressed, “Congratulations my dear friend President Donald Trump on your historic inauguration! I look forward to working closely together once again, to benefit both our countries, and to shape a better future for the world. Best wishes for a successful term ahead!”
A Unique Oath Ceremony
Donald Trump was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts in a ceremony held indoors at the Capitol Rotunda—a rare occurrence, having last occurred in 1985 for Ronald Reagan’s second term. This inauguration marked Trump’s return to the presidency, making him the second U.S. president to serve two non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland.
Traditions and Transitions
In a display of tradition, outgoing president Joe Biden and Trump rode together to the Capitol following a tea gathering at the White House, accompanied by their wives. The event saw attendance from notable figures, including tech giants like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, as well as former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.
During the tea ceremony, Biden greeted Trump with a warm “Welcome home,” symbolizing a smooth transition of power.
