From New York, María Antonia Sánchez-Vallejo will continue the day and in Palm Beach (Florida) David Marcial Pérez is to cover the arrival of the outgoing president, Donald Trump, who will make his last trip aboard Air Force One.

EL PAÍS, as it did during the electoral campaign and on the day in which Biden was proclaimed winner, is going to deploy the greatest coverage in Spanish to follow the inauguration of the 46th president of the United States, who will be sworn in at 12 noon in the capital of the United States.
