On the invitation of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, External Affairs Minister (EAM) Dr. S. Jaishankar will represent the Government of India at the Swearing-In Ceremony of President-Elect Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America.
During the visit, EAM will also have meetings with representatives of the incoming Administration, as also some other dignitaries visiting the US on that occasion.
Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2024. At noon (Eastern Time), Trump will take the presidential oath of office with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts in front of the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Before Donald J. Trump, the swearing-in ceremony of Vice President-elect JD Vance will take place. Last month, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC) announced “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise” as a theme for the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies.
According to the JCCIC, the theme honors the Founders’ dedication to future generations of Americans to safeguard the longevity of the democratic system of government.
As per media reports, Trump has reportedly invited several world leaders to the inauguration ceremony. Argentina President Javier Milei and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly agreed to attend the event. Hungary’s Viktor Orban has said he would consider attending.
