Donald Trump has finally taken his oath of office and assumed the role of President of theUnited States of America.
His inauguration on Friday, January 20th coincided with numerous protests both in Washington and in cities across the US and around the world.
Trump’s rise to power and his cabinet picks have provoked numerous questions. Will he indeed build a wall between Mexico and the US? Will he register Muslims? What will become of the Free trade agreements like NAFTA which he has vowed to scrap or renegotiate? If he is mending relations withRussia, what will that mean for current hot-spots Syria and Ukraine, and for foreign policy generally?
