The US capital, Washington, is getting ready for the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump. Due to extremely low temperatures, the inauguration ceremony was moved indoors at the Capitol.
Security has been increased in the US capital, Washington, as preparations for the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump draw to a close, A2 reports.
On Saturday evening, Mr. Trump was at his golf club in Stirling, Virginia, where he and his wife Melania Trump watched a fireworks display.
The president-elect flew from Palm Beach, Florida, to Washington on Saturday on a U.S. Air Force plane. He told the American television network ABC that he would call for unity, strength and justice in his inaugural address.
This Sunday, Mr. Trump will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, just outside Washington.
He will also hold a meeting with his supporters in Washington.
Meanwhile, work on the stage inside the Capitol where Mr. Trump will be sworn in is nearing completion. Due to extremely low temperatures, the inauguration ceremony was moved indoors.
If the ceremony were held outside on the platform built on what is known as the west wing of the Capitol, it would seat about 1,000 people.
Now, in indoor settings, this number will be reduced to around 600 guests, which means that some of the guests will not be able to attend the ceremony.
The last time cold temperatures moved the ceremony indoors was 1985, when Ronald Reagan was sworn in for his second term.
After the oath, the president usually rides in his limousine down one of Washington's main boulevards and then stops to walk and greet crowds of people until he arrives at the White House. / Voice of America (A2 Televizion)
