Donald Trump's swearing-in as the 47th US President will take place indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to a cold air emergency in Washington DC. Severe weather, including a massive winter storm with snow forecasts of up to 5 inches, prompted the shift from the outdoor venue. This marks the first indoor presidential inauguration since Ronald Reagan's in 1985. The administration has urged citizens to stay indoors as temperatures plummet. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar represents India at the ceremony and has met with counterparts from Japan and Australia to discuss QUAD initiatives.
