WASHINGTON, United States
United States President-elect Donald Trump spoke to supporters in Washington on Sunday, the day before he is expected to take the oath of office to become the 47th president of the US.
Trump told the crowd
at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington that he would halt
an "invasion" of immigrants at the border.
In particular, Trump singled
out criminals among the recent wave of Venezuelan migrants.
He promised to remove members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua from
the US.
"These are rough people,
and they're getting the hell out of our country," the
president-elect said.
Trump is scheduled to take the
oath of office on Monday at noon (1700 UTC).
Trump also promised to fix
"every single crisis" facing the nation and enact a slew of executive
orders in the early days of his presidency.
"We're going to give them
the best first day, the biggest first week and the most extraordinary first 100
days of any presidency in American history," Trump said in his speech,
adding that he would undo many of outgoing President Joe
Biden's measures.
Trump and other speakers at the rally said that the president-elect had been given a clear mandate for his plans. In the presidential election on November 5, Trump won the popular vote and secured a landslide majority in the electoral college.
The president-elect said that
he would release "remaining records related to the assassinations of"
US President John F. Keddy, Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader
Martin Luther King Jr.
Trump had made a similar
promise during his 2017-2021 but ultimately only released some classified
documents related to the assassinations.
The president-elect said that
he would take action "to keep men out of women's sports" after taking
office on Monday.
Trump had pledged during his
campaign to restrict gender-affirming care and transgender
sports participation.
