After his swearing-in as the nation’s 47th president Monday, Donald Trump pledged in a speech to “put America first” and said that “the golden age of America begins right now.”

Trump said the United States would “once again consider itself a growing nation” and one that “expands our territory.”

He critiqued the Biden administration and started laying out his priorities, including declaring a national emergency at the southern border.

The president is promising a flurry of actions on Day 1 on immigration, energy production, crime and other issues.
