Donald Trump launched his second term as US president on Monday with a barrage of executive orders, the first round signed on stage at the Capitol One Arena in downtown Washington, where the inaugural parade was moved to avoid freezing temperatures outside.

Among the measures signed on stage to cheers from a raucous crowd was the order for the US to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, a step the president took during his first term in power, before Joe Biden recommitted the US to that attempt to tackle the worsening climate crisis.
