Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed congratulates Trump on becoming the 47th President of USA

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan congratulated Donald Trump on becoming the 47th President of the United States of America on Monday.

Sheikh Mohamed said, “Congratulations to Donald Trump (@POTUS) on his inauguration as 47th President of the United States. I wish him and his administration success and I look forward to working with him to further advance UAE-US strategic relations and promote regional peace and stability.” 

Trump vowed to usher in a new era of American greatness, minutes after he was sworn in as president for the second time to complete an extraordinary political comeback following two assassination attempts, a felony conviction and an indictment for attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss.

"The golden age of America begins right now," he said.

Trump took the oath of office to "preserve, protect and defend" the U.S. Constitution at 12:01 p.m. ET (1701 GMT) inside the U.S. Capitol, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. His vice president, JD Vance, was sworn in just before him.

Trump was sworn in as the 47th president, promising a "revolution of common sense" and taking charge as Republicans assume unified control of Washington and set out to reshape the country's institutions. He pledged to "completely and totally reverse" the actions of his predecessor.

Declaring that government faces a "crisis of trust," Trump said in his inaugural address that under his administration "our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced."
