新大統領による就任演説

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another - but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.



For too long, a small group in our nation's Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished - but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered - but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation's Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes - starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

Taiwan President comments on Trump inauguration

The Taiwanese president says she looks forward to advancing the friendship and partnership between Taiwan and the United States.

Tsai Ing-wen tweeted the remark following the inauguration of US President Donald Trump.

Tsai called the United States Taiwan's most important ally in another statement released by the presidential office.

She said the 2 sides hold common values of freedom, democracy and human rights, and have contributed to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.

Tsai said she hopes the new US administration under Trump will take ties with Taiwan one step further and bring many benefits to the international community.

Taiwan and the US have no formal diplomatic relations.
But Trump held telephone talks with Tsai ahead of his inauguration.

Trump raised hackles in Beijing after indicating he will rethink the US policy on Taiwan, as well as Beijing's "one China" policy upheld by his predecessors.


Some people in Taiwan have expressed hope for closer relations with the US while others are concerned about tension with Beijing.

The Chinese government has yet to comment on Trump's inauguration.

Beijing regards Taiwan as a matter of "core interest", and says its "one China" policy is non-negotiable.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Friday that Beijing hopes Washington will respect matters of "core interest" between them.

6)Critics argue that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Pearl Harbor this week to pay his and Japan’s condolences to the fallen as an insincere and calculated gesture. They insist that the visit is geopolitically motivated and counter to his long-standing track record of participating in government committees that have actively sought to whitewash Japan’s imperial past or at least emphasize that Japan was a reluctant participant in a defensive war. Some have even advocated that Abe should visit Seoul and Nanjing to foster reconciliation in Northeast Asia and put the ghosts of Japan’s imperial past behind them.

There is little doubt that geopolitics associated with the deepening Sino-Japanese rivalry is the primary motivation for Abe’s visit to Pearl Harbor. Notwithstanding, the visit is rational, strategic and a demonstration that Abe’s personal track record of revisionist and nationalist tendencies can and does coexist with his pragmatic and realist approach to governance.
