On January 6, 2025, Eastern Time, a joint session of Congress held a ceremony to count the electoral votes, officially confirming Trump's election as President of the United States, marking his return to the White House after four years. This electoral vote counting was presided over by the current Vice President Harris. The entire procedure lasted about 30 minutes, ending with a standing ovation. Trump stated on social media that Congress's action proved he won a 'great' electoral victory. After this procedure, the tradition of a peaceful transfer of political power in the United States was restored.
It is noteworthy that the 'Capitol Riot' on January 6, 2021, occurred on the same day, when supporters of Trump stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the election results, resulting in five deaths. Trump had promised to pardon most of those involved in the incident. To prevent a recurrence of such events, tall barricades were set up around the Capitol that day.
According to the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the presidential inauguration is scheduled for January 20, and if it falls on a weekend, it will be postponed. The ceremony will include several procedures, such as the swearing-in of the Vice President and President, the inaugural address, the outgoing President's departure, and the signing of orders. Trump has begun inviting world leaders to the inauguration via phone, although generally only diplomatic officials stationed in the U.S. attend; Ukrainian President Zelensky has expressed a desire to attend in person.
Trump has actively shown his involvement in global affairs, recently meeting with international leaders including the Prime Minister of Canada, the Prime Minister of Hungary, and the President of Ukraine, as well as attending the reopening ceremony of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Additionally, the Trump team is studying a range of new tariff plans covering important areas of U.S. national security and economic security, such as steel, aluminum, medical equipment, and energy production, though Trump himself has denied this.
