The United States is all set for the Jan 20 swearing-in of Joe Biden as president. US law enforcement agencies securing Biden’s presidential inauguration dramatically scaled up their budgets following the Capitol riot on Jan 6. After his election fraud claim caused much uproar, outgoing President Donald Trump, in a farewell address released on Tuesday, touted his legacy and finally wished luck to the new administration of Biden but without acknowledging his successor by name. Trump has been holed up at the White House for the final weeks of his term, reeling after the riot by his supporters at the Capitol that led to five deaths, including a Capitol Police officer.
