As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration, he has made bold declarations regarding his foreign policy approach. Trump promised to avert World War 3, end the ongoing war in Ukraine, and address the persistent instability in the Middle East upon assuming office. Addressing his supporters ahead of his inauguration, Trump shared his vision for global peace, stating, “I will end the war in Ukraine, stop the chaos in the Middle East, and I will prevent World War 3 from happening, you have no idea how close we are.”
Trump’s remarks were delivered as part of his pre-inauguration message, where he sought to reassure the American public and the world that he would take immediate and decisive action to ease global tensions. His promise to bring an end to the conflict in Ukraine comes at a time of heightened international concern, while his pledge to stabilize the Middle East has resonated with many as ongoing conflicts continue to challenge the region’s security.
In addition to his foreign policy promises, Trump revealed that his inauguration ceremony will be held indoors at the US Capitol, breaking a 40-year tradition due to extreme cold weather conditions. This decision echoes the 1985 swearing-in of President Ronald Reagan, who was also forced to hold his ceremony indoors due to similar weather circumstances. “There is an Arctic blast sweeping the country. I don’t want to see people hurt or injured in any way,” Trump explained, outlining his reasoning for relocating the event to the Capitol Rotunda.
The upcoming inauguration will certainly mark a historic moment, as the decision to move the event indoors underscores the administration’s focus on safety and logistics. Trump’s address, which will include prayers and other speeches, promises to be a key moment in his presidency, with eyes set on how he plans to navigate the pressing global issues he has pledged to resolve.
