How many people watched Trump’s swearing in on TV?
Donald Trump has become the new President of America. Recently, he took oath as the 47th President of America. The swearing-in ceremony of US President Donald Trump was watched by an estimated 24.6 million viewers on television. In America, the tenure of the President is of four years and Trump has taken charge as President for the second time. The Nielsen company said on Tuesday that this number of viewers was less than the audience for former President Joe Biden’s 2021 swearing-in ceremony. Biden’s swearing-in ceremony was watched by 3.38 crore people, whereas the swearing-in ceremony of Trump’s previous term in 2017 was watched by 3.6 crore viewers.
How many people watched Trump’s swearing-in ceremony?
The number of spectators at the swearing-in ceremony has declined significantly in the last 50 years. In 1981, when Ronald Reagan took office, this number was 41.8 million and in 2004, during George W Bush’s second term, the swearing-in ceremony was watched by 15.5 million people. With the formation of the new government in America, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Walz held their first bilateral international meeting with Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has gone to America to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Donald Trump.
US government’s first meeting with S Jaishankar
The meeting between the two top diplomats representing the world’s two oldest and largest democracies took place at the Foggy Bottom headquarters of the US State Department. Before the bilateral meeting, the first Quad ministerial meeting was held after Donald Trump became President. Let us tell you that usually after the selection of the new President in America, the first meeting is with America’s neighboring countries Canada or Mexico. However, this has not happened this time. This time America has held its first bilateral meeting with India. The bilateral meeting between new US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Dr S Jaishankar came less than an hour after the former Secretary of State officially assumed charge.
