Trump inauguration updates: Trump takes victory lap at at Make America Great Again Rally

Trump is marking his historic political comeback to the White House with a signature "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington on Sunday, bringing together more than 20,000 supporters to the nation's capital ahead of Inauguration Day.

The rally is being held at Capital One Arena, mirroring the Madison Square Garden rally he held in New York City last October, which served as his closing remarks to American voters a week before Election Day in November.

The Sunday rally is a move to pay a special tribute to the major role big arena rallies have played in all three of Trump's presidential bids to galvanize his supporters and to carry that campaign spirit into his second-term presidency.

Vice president-elect JD Vance met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng Sunday morning, the Trump transition team said.

The leaders discussed "a range of topics including fentanyl, balancing trade, and regional stability," a release from the transition team said.

In a historic first, Han is attending Trump's inauguration on Monday. His attendance comes after Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to the ceremony.

Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and two Gold Star family members paid their respects in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday.

As a fine mist fell on attendees, Trump placed the first wreath on a stand before Vance placed the second. A woman placed the third wreath and the final one was laid by a man on crutches who appeared to have lost his right arm and left leg.

Trump saluted as the changing of the guard took place and Vance placed his hand over his heart.
