Donald Trump is set to return to the White House with a massive agenda, leading a deeply divided United States on a starkly different path from his predecessor 91裸聊视频� and the Republican leader has signalled it means pushing away from America91裸聊视频檚 closest neighbour and ally.

Canadians will be anxiously watching inauguration day ceremonies to see what is among Trump91裸聊视频檚 early priorities amid threats to slap Canada with a 25 per cent across-the-board tariff on Monday.

His team has reportedly prepared more than 100 executive orders, though it91裸聊视频檚 unclear what is in the package and how many will be signed immediately.

91裸聊视频淚 think we want to see what the president decides to do,91裸聊视频� Kirsten Hillman, Canada91裸聊视频檚 ambassador to the U.S., told Bloomberg News last week.

She added: 91裸聊视频淐anada will be ready for whatever comes our way.91裸聊视频�

Bright red hats and toques with 91裸聊视频淭rump91裸聊视频� scrawled across the front descended on Washington, D.C., over the weekend for rallies and events ahead of the Republican leader91裸聊视频檚 return to office as the 47th president.

Trump is the first former president to return to power since Grover Cleveland regained the White House in the 1892 election. He is the first person convicted of a felony to become president and, at 78, is the oldest person elected to the office.

The inauguration celebration is already much different than when he first took office in 2017. While thousands of people showed up to a People91裸聊视频檚 March against Trump in the nation91裸聊视频檚 capital Saturday, officials don91裸聊视频檛 expect there will be massive demonstrations, unrest or violence on Monday.

Trump91裸聊视频檚 first speech as president in 2017 painted a bleak picture of what he called 91裸聊视频淎merican carnage91裸聊视频� but it was overshadowed in the news cycle by claims about crowd sizes.

That won91裸聊视频檛 be an issue this year, as a predicted blast of cold temperatures forced most of the events indoors.

Country music star Carrie Underwood is set to perform 91裸聊视频淎merica the Beautiful91裸聊视频� before Trump gives his oath of office in the Capitol Rotunda.

Tech billionaires, world leaders, celebrities and athletes are among those expected to watch Trump give his inaugural address, including three of the richest men in the world 91裸聊视频� Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.

It has been reported that the theme of the speech is 91裸聊视频渦nity.91裸聊视频�

The celebrations serve as a stark contrast to Trump91裸聊视频檚 departure from the nation91裸聊视频檚 capital four years ago. In the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill attack, Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election and skipped President Joe Biden91裸聊视频檚 inauguration.

Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, as well as former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, have indicated they will be in attendance on Monday.

It91裸聊视频檚 unclear how the change in venue will impact the guest list.

Many Canadian politicians have also travelled to Washington and are attending an event at the Canadian Embassy, which sits on Pennsylvania Avenue between the U.S. Capitol and the White House.

Among those in attendance are Team Canada co-leads Industry Minister Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne and Trade Minister Mary Ng.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will also be in the U.S. capital following last week91裸聊视频檚 controversy in Canada when she refused to sign off on a joint statement with other premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that said every countermeasure was on the table to push back any proposed duties.

Smith, who recently travelling to Trump91裸聊视频檚 Florida Mar-a-Lago resort to meet with the president-elect, broke from the pack by refusing to consider any plan that would include possible levies on oil exports or cutting off energy supply to the U.S.

Canada has multiple options for retaliatory tariffs ready to go depending on what Trump ultimately does. If Trump sets the tariffs at 25 per cent, Canada91裸聊视频檚 response would be to impose counter-tariffs worth roughly $37 billion, and possibly follow up with another $110 billion in tariffs.

If the duties are lower, Canada91裸聊视频檚 tariff response would be more modest.

Hillman spoke on multiple American news programs last week making the case that any type of trade war between Canada and the U.S. should be avoided.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 really hopeful that we are not going to get to that place,91裸聊视频� Hillman said on Bloomberg News.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not good for the U.S., it91裸聊视频檚 not good for Canada. And there91裸聊视频檚 a lot of good things we can be doing together right now in energy and all sorts of other areas of trade.91裸聊视频�
