Good evening. I'm Omna Nawaz. And I'm Jeff Bennett on the news hour tonight.

So help me go. Congratulations. Donald Trump takes the oath of office and begins his second term as president of the United States.

Swiftly announcing a host of measures aimed at implementing his energy, economic and immigration

agendas.

And I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.

And with the world's eyes on the U.S., we speak with the former head of NATO about how President

Trump could affect the future of the

alliance and conflicts around the globe.

I recommend to do the same as we did last time President Trump's president, that

is to engage and to sit down and discuss. Welcome to the News Hour.

Donald Trump has returned to office as the nation's 47th president.

His inauguration today marked the first time since Grover Cleveland that a U.S. President

will serve non-consecutive terms.

And the first time in 40 years an inauguration had to be held indoors because of freezing

temperatures.

President Trump's second term officially kickstarts with an ambitious and controversial

agenda that's expected to bring mass deportations, aggressive tariffs on imports from

competitors and allies alike, and a promise of retribution against political foes that led

to last-minute pardons from outgoing President Joe Biden. Laura Barone Lopez reports.

Desire, protect, and defend. The Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution of the United States.

So help me God.
