The inauguration of the new US President, which will take place in 2025, will become historic because of one feature - this time the US flags will be released. This decision was made through a mourning related to the death of the 39th President Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29, 2024 at the age of 100. According to the instructions, mourning will last until January 27, 2025, and all national symbols will be half a flagpole during this period.
Such a step has caused an ambiguous reaction, in particular from the former President Donald Trump. In his post on the Truth Social platform, he expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that the Democrats of "Council" in such a situation because they allegedly do not love their country and think more about themselves. Trump stressed that this is the first time in history, when the flags will be released during the presidential inauguration.
Baiden's administration, in turn, assured that she would not revise this decision. The White House representative Karin Jean-Pierre reported that this gesture is part of national mourning and reflects the deep respect for Jimmy Carter, who left a significant mark in the country's history.
Jimmy Carter, who held the post of President from 1977 to 1981, left behind a great legacy in the field of human rights, peace and international relations. In 2002, he became a laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize for its activities in maintaining peace and facilitating human rights protection.
