Trump begins inauguration day at St John’s Church

Author: app/afp

WASHINGTON: United States (US) President-elect Donald Trump on Friday attended a prayer service, just hours before he takes the oath of office.

Trump, his wife Melania and his children arrived at St John’s Church – near the White House – for what was expected to be an hour-long service before he heads for morning tea with out-going President Barack Obama. This marked the first event of his jam-packed inauguration day.

The Obamas and the Trumps will then travel 2.5 miles (four kilometers) down Pennsylvania Avenue to the swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the Capitol.
