WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Friday his inauguration will be held indoors because of severe cold and the presidential parade will be held at a nearby sports arena.

"I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather. The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol," he wrote in a Truth Social post.
