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.

"The golden age of America begins right now," he says. "From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected.

"I will very simply put America first."
