In his inaugural speech, Trump stated, "The Golden Age of America begins now" and every day of his administration will be "America First"; he will declare a national emergency at the southern border to stop illegal immigration and restart the "Remain in Mexico" policy; he promised to combat record high inflation and lower oil prices, announcing a national energy emergency, refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and promoting exports; he will revitalize the automotive manufacturing industry, rescind Biden's electric vehicle policies, and bring car production back to the USA at an "unimaginable" speed; he did not mention imposing tariffs on any other countries, stating he will establish a foreign tax bureau to collect tariffs, intending to comprehensively reform the trade system; he reiterated that the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the United States Gulf and promised to reclaim the Panama Canal; he aims to plant the American flag on Mars. The White House announced that Trump would withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, but did not provide a timeline for the withdrawal.

According to CCTV reports, on January 20th, local time, Donald Trump, the Republican president-elect, officially took the oath of office as the 47th president of the USA during the inauguration ceremony held in Washington, D.C.

The oath-taking ceremony was presided over by Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court, with Trump completing the oath under Roberts' guidance. The elected vice president, Vance, also officially took his oath of office that day.

In his inaugural speech, Trump promised "America First", focusing on combating illegal immigration, high inflation, and oil extraction, commitments he made during his presidential campaign last year. He announced the establishment of a special agency responsible for collecting tariffs on foreign goods but did not mention tariffs on any other countries, instead stating that a comprehensive reform of the USA's trade system will soon take place. He claimed he would "reclaim" the important waterway connecting the Atlantic and The Pacific, the Panama Canal, and lay claim to the Gulf of Mexico.

Donald Trump just took the oath of office as President of the USA, and Bitcoin accelerated its decline during the session, dropping from above $0.106 million to below $0.102 million in the short term, turning overall negative during the day, at one point falling below $0.101 million to set a new daily low, and is currently reported at $0.103 million. On Monday before the European stock market opened, Bitcoin had risen above $0.109 million, setting a new intraday historical high.

Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and the US stock market was closed; however, US stock futures maintained their upward trend after Trump’s inauguration. Dow futures rose nearly 170 points, while S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures rose about 0.4%.

National emergency at the southern border ends the policy of capturing and immediately releasing individuals.

Subsequently, Trump delivered his inaugural speech. Trump began the speech by stating, "The Golden Age of America begins now", pledging that every day of his administration "will put America first", namely "America First". At the end of the speech, he said, we are about to welcome "the greatest four years in American history."

Trump stated that he would sign a series of historic executive orders to initiate a "revolution of common sense." He first mentioned immigration and border issues, saying he would declare a national emergency at the southern border of the USA.

Trump stated that he would immediately stop all illegal entries and begin the deportation of millions of "criminal foreigners," terminating the Biden administration's catch and release border policy. This policy allowed immigrant families caught at the border to enter the USA.

Trump promised to reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy that was implemented during his first presidential term. According to CCTV, this policy required foreigners seeking asylum who entered the USA through the US-Mexico border to stay in Mexico while awaiting the verification of their identity and hearings in US immigration courts. The policy also specified that Mexico would provide appropriate humanitarian protection for these individuals during their stay in Mexico.

Trump took a tough stance on immigration issues. He said that as the Commander in Chief of this military, his greatest responsibility is to defend the USA against threats and invasions, "we will achieve this at an unprecedented level."

Trump also stated that he would designate drug trafficking organizations as foreign terrorist groups, enforce the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, and mobilize federal and state law enforcement agencies to combat foreign gangs and criminal networks.

After Trump announced the immigration policies, including those targeting entrants from Mexico, the Mexican peso briefly fell, with the USD/MXN rate momentarily breaking through 20.71, before quickly returning to a downward trend, dropping below 20.60. During the day, it fell by more than 1%, nearing the recent low of below 20.50 from January 15.

According to CCTV, the US Customs and Border Protection stated on Monday that the Trump administration has stopped using an application called CBP One. This application allowed immigrants to legally enter the USA by providing a structured application process. The Department of Homeland Security stated that existing appointments on this application have been canceled.

A national energy emergency will be declared to refill the strategic oil reserves and promote exports, with an unknown timeline for exiting the Paris Agreement.

Next, Trump discussed solving the inflation problem, stating that he would instruct all cabinet members to use their powers to "defeat the record high inflation,and quickly reduce costs and prices." He also said, "The inflation crisis is caused by the Biden administration's massive overspending and rising energy prices."

Trump stated that he would declare a national energy emergency. He reiterated the campaign slogan of increasing oil and gas extraction: "We will drill, baby, drill."

Trump said that the USA would use its oil reserves to fill the national oil reserves and promote exports. He plans to "lower oil prices, refill our strategic reserves, and export US Energy around the world."

A White House official then told the media that the national energy emergency "would unlock various powers" for producing more natural resources, but did not disclose the details of which powers Trump would use.

Shortly after Trump's inauguration, according to CCTV reports, the White House stated that President Trump would sign an executive order to withdraw the USA from the Paris Agreement.

The White House's statement did not provide a specific timeline for the withdrawal from the agreement.

In December 2015, nearly 200 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change reached the Paris Agreement at the Paris Climate Change Conference. The Paris Agreement officially came into effect in November 2016. According to the temperature control goals set out in the Paris Agreement, by the end of this century, the increase in global average temperature should be controlled within 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, and efforts should be made to limit the rise to 1.5 degrees.

During Trump's first term, the US government withdrew from the Paris Agreement. A commentary article from Xinhua pointed out that when the Trump administration announced the termination of the Paris Agreement in 2017, the excuse given was that the Paris Agreement would impose "harsh financial and economic burdens" on the USA, but many experts pointed out that these reasons were unfounded. The potential for job creation in the traditional energy industry in the USA has become increasingly difficult to exploit, while the job opportunities created by the New energy Fund have already exceeded those in the Coal, Oil & Gas industries.

Revitalizing the auto manufacturing industry by repealing electric vehicle policies.

Trump mentioned actions to revitalize US manufacturing, reaffirming his campaign promise to end Biden's electric vehicle policies and revive domestic auto manufacturing.

In his speech, Trump stated that he would end the Green New Deal and repeal the Biden administration's electric vehicle policies, promising to "save our auto industry" and fulfill his commitment to American auto workers. He said, "We will make cars in America again, at a speed that no one could imagine a few years ago."

Last month, CCTV cited overseas media reports stating that Trump's team suggested extensive reforms to cut policy support for electric vehicles and charging stations, and also proposed imposing tariffs on all battery materials globally. The team had previously called for the elimination of the $7,500 tax credit provided by the Biden administration for consumers purchasing electric vehicles.

Establish an External Revenue Service responsible for imposing tariffs and immediately fully reform the trade system.

Regarding trade, Trump stated that he would establish an "External Revenue Service", responsible for collecting new tariffs on imported goods.

Trump said he would "immediately begin a comprehensive reform of our trade system," imposing tariffs and taxes on foreigners instead of taxing domestic citizens to make foreign countries wealthy, thereby enriching American citizens.

Trump mentioned the 25th President of the USA, Republican William McKinley, who initiated the Spanish-American War and led high tariff policies in the late 19th century, stating that he would overturn former President Obama's renaming decision and restore the name of North America's highest peak to McKinley. He pointed out that McKinley made the USA "very wealthy" through tariffs and talent.

Regarding foreign policy, Trump said he wants to be a "peacemaker." Trump did not mention specific countries or geopolitical situations.

Reiterate to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and to reclaim the Panama Canal.

This past Monday, Trump once again revealed what the media refers to as "imperialist" ambitions. He stated, "Soon, we will rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America."

Trump also promised to reclaim control of the Panama Canal. He previously stated that the Panama Canal charges the US Navy and commercial ships "exorbitant prices and tolls." In his speech this Monday, he reiterated that the Panama Canal severely overcharges US vessels, including naval ships.

Earlier this month, the day after the US Congress formally confirmed Trump's election as President of the USA, Trump stated that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He did not promise to avoid using military force to seize Greenland and the Panama Canal, saying that if Denmark does not give Greenland, he will impose "very high" tariffs on Denmark. Trump also mentioned he would use economic power to merge the USA with Canada and does not view the boundary between the two countries as defined by "artificially drawn borders."

Plant the American flag on Mars.

In his inaugural speech, Trump said that America should pursue the so-called "manifest destiny" to advance into other planets, sending American astronauts to Mars and planting the American flag there. The media noted that Musk, who attended the inauguration, laughed when he heard this.

Last year, Musk announced the Mars colonization plan. SpaceX will launch the first Starship unmanned spacecraft to Mars in two years. If the unmanned spacecraft lands successfully, the first manned spacecraft will depart for Mars four years later, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city on Mars within 20 years.

Trump also mentioned in his speech the new department that Musk will participate in leading, called the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

In November last year, Trump announced that Musk and USA entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy would jointly lead DOGE to assist the government in dismantling bureaucracy, reducing excessive regulations, cutting wasteful spending, and restructuring federal institutions, paving the way for their work to be completed by July 4, 2026, as a tribute to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
