Maximum protection in Washington
On January 6, hundreds of Donald Trump supporters invaded the seat of Congress to oppose Joe Biden's victory.
The outgoing president, who called on his supporters to march on Capitol Hill, has since been indicted by the House of Representatives for "incitement to insurrection" and his trial before the Senate could begin soon after the inauguration of his successor Wednesday.
In reaction to the assault on the Capitol, Washington has taken on the appearance of an entrenched camp in recent days, the authorities fearing new disturbances on the sidelines of the swearing in of Joe Biden.
The outgoing president has refused in recent months to accept the outcome of the poll, highlighting false allegations of fraud, and refusing to congratulate Joe Biden.
Donald and Melania Trump have not invited Joe Biden and his wife Jill for the traditional visit to the Oval Office, and will not attend the inauguration of the new head of state.
