JD Vance took oath as vice-president, alongside the new president. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was present as Prime Minister Modi's special envoy, underscoring India's focus on strengthening ties with the US under Trump's leadership. Trump's administration aims to prioritize America once again over global interests as highlighted in his inaugural speech.
