President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in today in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in front of a number of world leaders and other guests as he becomes the 47th president.
Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance are set to take the oath of office during a day that will include celebrations such as musical performances and a parade. Trump is breaking with tradition, inviting several foreign leaders, both allies and rivals. U.S. inaugurations are usually not attended by foreign world leaders; other countries tend to be represented by foreign ministers and ambassadors.
