Trump, who has promised a new "golden age" for America, will take the oath at an indoor ceremony at the rotunda of the US Capitol building at 10.30pm IST (12pm ET).

Ahead of the inauguration, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will host Trump and his wife, Melania, for "tea and coffee" at the White House before they all travel together to the Capitol.

Trump plans to sign 100 executive orders

Meanwhile, ahead of his swearing-in ceremony, Trump has promised to sign around 100 executive orders within hours of taking office.

These include declaring a national emergency on the southern US border with Mexico, and undoing the Biden administration's directives on diversity and oil drilling.

Executive orders are signed statements about how the president wants the federal government to be managed. They can be instructions to federal agencies or requests for reports, according to the Associated Press.
