Republican candidate Donald Trump has secured a return to the US presidency following a decisive election win over vice-president Kamala Harris. He succeeds outgoing President Joe Biden. His official swearing-in is scheduled for January 20, 2025, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, marking the formal start of his presidential duties. As per tradition, the presidential inaugural committee is a non-profit body that plans events related to the inauguration of the new administration.
Donald Trump’s inauguration promises to usher in an era of upheaval in global commerce, forcing governments around the world to scramble in preparation for a tariff onslaught even before he’s back in the White House.
Mexico and Canada have borne much of the brunt of Trump’s trade threats since election day, prompting leaders from both American neighbors to publicly warn of retaliation. Others are making preparations behind the scenes — Vietnam’s officials have promised to buy more US goods, the European Union has bolstered its ability to counter tariffs, while Indian officials aim to negotiate their way through the coming storm.
