Trump promises blizzard of executive orders ahead of inauguration as US president
Donald Trump will be sworn in for his second term as US president just before 12:00 EST (17:00 GMT) in Washington DC on Monday
The ceremony, traditionally held outside the US Capitol, has been moved indoors due to a forecast of frigid temperatures as low as -11C
Following the oath of office, Trump will address the nation before he is expected to parade across town to the White House and attend three inaugural balls in the evening
About 200,000 supporters are expected to visit the city to mark the presidential transfer of power
In his final rally yesterday, Trump promised to sign a blitz of executive orders on his first day as president.
He is expected to sign more than 200 executive actions today. This would include executive orders, which are legally-binding, and other presidential directives like proclamations, which are usually not.
"Every radical and foolish executive order of the Biden administration will be repealed within hours of when I take the oath of office," the incoming president said.
Trump promised executive orders that would ramp up artificial intelligence programmes, form the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), make records available related to the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963, direct the military to create an Iron Dome missile defence shield and eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies from the military.
