The European Union's top officials express relief that they will soon have a friend in the White House as Joe Biden replaces Donald Trump as President of the United States. SOUNDBITE
Rumors have been flying about what, if anything, President Donald Trump will do during the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. According to Business Insider, one such story making the rounds is that Trump will visit his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. In fact, a Scottish newspaper reported Sunday that a US military plane sometimes used by Trump is scheduled to arrive at an airport near the resort. But on Tuesday, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon put an end to such speculation. Sturgeon said the country's national lockdown, which includes a prohibition on non-essential travel, applies to Trump as well.
Supporters of the baseless QAnon theory believed that Donald Trump would remain US President to fight against supposed enemies in the "deep state".
New President Joe Biden tells reporters that outgoing president Donald Trump left him a "very generous" letter in the Oval Office, in keeping with tradition. "The president wrote a very generous letter," says Biden in the Oval Office. "Because it's private, I will not talk about it until I talk to him," he adds. SOUNDBITE
Joe Biden has become the 46th president of the United States, vowing a "new day" for the United States after four years of tumult under Donald Trump who in an extraordinary final act snubbed the inauguration. Two weeks to the day after Trump supporters violently rampaged at the US Capitol to overturn the election results, Biden took the oath on the same very steps alongside Kamala Harris, who was sworn in moments earlier as the first woman vice president.
