Donald Trump has announced that his second inauguration ceremony will be moved indoors at the US Capitol due to dangerously cold temperatures forecast to hit the nation’s capital on Monday that would make the traditional outdoor swearing-in ceremony unsafe.

“The weather forecast for Washington DC, with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
