Donald Trump was sworn in again Monday as president of the United States and in his inaugural address declared war on the U.S. southern border and pledged to bring law and order back to American cities.

The now-47th president criticized the Biden administration for not managing crises in the country and said the “golden age of America” was starting and that nothing will stand in the country’s way.

The Republican, who was the 45th president from Jan. 20, 2017 to Jan. 20, 2021, said his “life was saved” by God to make America great again.

He addressed a number of issues and made many promises including reinstating the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 and declaring foreign cartels terrorist organizations.

Trump also said that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and that Panama had violated treaty agreements.

He did not mention buying Greenland or possible tariffs against Mexico or Canada but vowed to “immediately begin to overhaul the country’s trade system.”

Earlier today he issued a memo that stopped short of imposing new tariffs on his first day in office. A Trump official said the president will first direct federal agencies to evaluate U.S. trade relationships with China, Canada and Mexico.

Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed this morning that the president will sign a number executive orders on his first day in office.

In his speech the president also declared a “national energy emergency” and promised to lower energy prices and “drill, baby drill,” adding that he would revoke the electric vehicle mandate.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who will be stepping down as PM at the end of March sent a congratulatory message to the president.

“We are strongest when we work together, and I look forward to working with President Trump, his administration, members of the United States Congress, and officials at the state and local levels to deliver prosperity for our peoples – while protecting and defending the interests of Canadians,” Trudeau posted online.

On Sunday Trudeau thanked President Joe Biden on social media.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posted on X Monday afternoon about Trump’s decision to hold off on imposing tariffs on Canadian goods.

“Despite the promising news today, the threat of U.S. tariffs is still very real,” she stressed in the lengthy statement.
