Trump inauguration live updates: Donald Trump moves swiftly to implement his new agenda

The Senate quickly confirmed Marco Rubio as secretary of state Monday, voting unanimously to give President Donald Trump the first member of his new Cabinet on Inauguration Day.

Rubio, the Republican senator from Florida, is among the least controversial of Trump's nominees and vote was decisive, 99-0. Another pick, John Ratcliffe for CIA director, is also expected to have a swift vote. Action on others, including former combat veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for defense secretary, is expected later in the week.

"Marco Rubio is a very intelligent man with a remarkable understanding of American foreign policy," Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the senior-most Republican, said as the chamber opened.

Trump also signed an order withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement.

The agreement was originally ratified at the annual United Nations Climate Conference in 2015. It intended to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels -- a metric scientists believed would significantly reduce the impacts of climate change.

During his first term in office, Trump withdrew from the agreement; Biden re-entered it on his first day in office.

Following his remarks, Trump sat down at a desk in the Capital One Arena to sign what he previewed as a wide range of executive orders.

The first order rescinded 78 Biden-era executive actions, executive orders, presidential memoranda and others.

President Donald Trump spoke at an an indoor Presidential Inauguration parade event at Capital One Arena on Monday.

The crowd booed loudly when Trump brought up Joe Biden's last-minute pardons for members of his family.

"Did you know that Biden, while I was making my speech, pardoned his whole family? The brother. The whole deal was pardoned. Can you imagine that?" Trump said.
