WASHINGTON (AP) — Invoking again his campaign slogan of "Make America great again," Donald Trump has wrapped up his first speech as president of the United States. His inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol included a pledge to empower what he called America's "forgotten men and women." In his speech following his swearing-in, Trump painted a bleak picture of the nation he now leads -- lamenting crime, shuttered factories and weakened American leadership. Trump vowed to stir "new national pride," bring jobs back, and "eradicate completely" Islamic terrorism.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says that he will govern the country by putting America first. In his inaugural address, Trump pledged that "from this day forward, a new vision will govern our hand" and that "from this day forward it's going to be only America first."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is describing his election as a victory for working people. He says today's transition isn't just from one president to another -- but also a transfer of power "from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people." He says for too long, "Washington flourished but the people did not share in its wealth."
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. embassies and consulates in at least 10 nations in Asia, Europe and Latin America are warning of potentially violent protests through the weekend against the inauguration of Donald Trump as U.S. president. Security notices posted by U.S. diplomatic missions in Chile, Denmark, France, Greece and several other countries advise American in those countries to steer clear of embassies and consulates today -- and, in some cases, on Saturday and Sunday. That's due to the possibility of unrest and clashes with police.
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. officials say they didn't learn until yesterday that Mexico was extraditing drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. But they say they were prepared for it. Prosecutors agreed to not seek the death penalty as a condition of the extradition. The U.S. is seeking a $14 billion forfeiture order as part of its prosecution. The convicted leader of the Sinaloa cartel is awaiting an arraignment in Brooklyn.
