Trump pledges 'golden age' on being sworn in as US president

14 Sept 01:30 Key points summarised by AI

Donald Trump began his historic second term as president, proclaiming the start of a "golden age" for the United States while sharply criticizing a "broken" society and a "radical and corrupt establishment."
He immediately outlined a nationalist agenda, vowing to declare a national emergency at the southern border, deport millions, and issue executive orders to end birthright citizenship and federal diversity programs.
The inauguration featured notable attendees including tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, alongside hard-right foreign leaders, signaling a shift in both domestic policy and global relations.
Outgoing President Joe Biden, who attended the ceremony, issued pre-emptive pardons for family members and former advisors, and left a traditional letter for Trump, restoring some presidential customs despite past animosity.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
