The world is preparing for the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, marking his second term. The event will take place about two weeks after the US Congress certifies his electoral win. The Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee has invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a guest. However, India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, will represent the Indian government at the swearing-in ceremony. During his visit, Jaishankar is expected to meet with key members of the incoming US administration. He will also have discussions with other prominent leaders and dignitaries attending the event. This visit reflects the strong ties between India and the United States.
