Odaily Planet Daily News: US President-elect Trump said on social media on the 17th that his inauguration ceremony will be held indoors due to the expected severe cold weather in the capital Washington, DC.
Trump said that the weather forecast for Washington, DC shows that the wind chill effect may cause severe low temperatures on the 20th. He has ordered the inauguration speech and other ceremonies to be moved to the Capitol Rotunda. In 1985, former President Reagan's second inauguration was also held in the Capitol Rotunda due to severe cold weather.
Trump also said that on the day of the inauguration, the Capital One Arena will be open to the public, and the public can watch the live broadcast and participate in the presidential inauguration parade. Trump also plans to hold a celebration rally at the arena on the afternoon of the 19th.
Trump will be sworn in at 12:00 p.m. on January 20 (1:00 a.m. Beijing time on the 21st). Weather forecasts show that the local temperature will drop to around minus 6 degrees Celsius by then, and the perceived temperature may reach minus 12 to 14 degrees Celsius. (Xinhua News Agency)
