He adds that, as of today, it will be official policy of the US government that there are only two genders, male and female.
Trump says he'll immediately begin an overhaul of trade, and that he is establishing the "External Revenue Service" to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues.
He says these revenues will come from "foreign sources".
"The American dream will soon be back and thriving like never before," the president says.
He talks about the establishment of DOGE - the new department of government efficiency.
"After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional restriction of expression, I will also sign an Executive Order to stop all censorship and bring back free speech to America," he says.
For context - freedom of speech is already protected by the US constitution.
Inside the Rotunda, Trump is receiving a lot of applause and cheers from those sat in front of him. Many stand as they listen to the president speak.

'Drill baby drill' - Trump on US oil and gas production
The president now directs his attention to tackling inflation and rising energy costs for Americans - a focal point of his campaigning.
He says he will direct all members of cabinet to do what is in their power to "defeat" inflation and "rapidly bring down costs and prices".
Trump adds that he will declare a national energy emergency, and repeats his promise that his administration will ramp up drilling of oil and gas on US soil.
"America will be a manufacturing nation once again," he says, adding that America sits on "the most oil and natural gas of any nation on earth, and we're going to use it."
"Drill baby drill," he says to applause.
Trump says that today's executive orders will be "designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organisations" - which receives a loud applause.
He says by invoking the "Aliens Enemies Act of 1798" he will direct the government to use the "full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement" to end "foreign gangs on US soil".

Today, he says, he'll sign an executive order declaring a national emergency at the US-Mexico border.
All illegal entry will "immediately be halted" he says, adding that the government will begin the process of returning millions of "criminal aliens" to where they came from.

Trump then addresses black and Hispanic communities in the US, and thanks them for "the tremendous outpouring of love and trust".
"I heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you," he says.

He starts by saying that our nation's "glorious destiny" will no longer be denied.
Reflecting on the attempt on his life, he says over the past eight years he's been "tested more than any president".
He adds that some have "tried to stop our cause" and tried to take his freedom "and indeed my life".
He says his life was saved "for a reason" - to "make America great again" - his slogan for two campaign cycles.
Trump continues in his inaugural address.
He says he has been given a mandate to "completely and totally reverse" what he calls "a horrible betrayal" by those in power against the American people adding that he will give people "their faith, their wealth, their democracy and their freedom."
"From this moment on, America's decline is over," he says.

He says the fires affected some of the wealthiest and most powerful, some of whom are sitting here right now.
"They don't have a home any longer. That's interesting," he tells the Capitol Rotunda audience.
He says the US has a health system that doesn't deliver in times of disaster, but says more money is spent on it "than anywhere in the world".
He adds that the country has an education system that "teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves".
"All of this will change, starting today, and it will change very quickly," Trump says.
Trump continues to use his first speech to attack the Biden administration and its handling of the migrant crisis.
He says the country's challenges will be "annihilated", adding that the US is confronting a crisis of "trust over radical and corrupt establishment".
The previous administration, he says, has provided sanctuary and protection for "dangerous criminals" who have illegally entered our country.
The government has given "unlimited funding to the defence of foreign borders" but refuses to defend American borders, he claims.
"We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home," Trump says.
Image source, Getty ImagesTrump goes on to say that America will soon be "greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before".
He says he returns to the presidency "confident and optimistic" and that it is the "start of a thrilling new era of national success".
"Sunlight is pouring over the entire world and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before," he adds.
Trump continues his speech by laying out his vision for America.
"Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the scales of justice will be rebalanced," he says, adding that "the vicious violent and unfair weaponisation" of the US Justice Department will end.
"Our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous and free," he says.
