Donald Trump’s January 20 inauguration as the 47th U.S. President is shaping up to be a global spectacle. External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar will represent India at the event. Trump’s team has invited world leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, breaking U.S. tradition. Corporates like Boeing, Google, and Microsoft have donated millions, with inaugural funds exceeding $170M. VIP passes for high-profile donors have sold out due to overwhelming demand. Public tickets, distributed through Congress, offer limited access. Security remains a challenge as Trump aims for a "world stage" event showcasing his global influence.
