The US capital is preparing for the inauguration of Donald Trump, with authorities taking unprecedented security measures after a campaign marked by violence. Trump's inauguration on Monday will be the "third most significant national security event" in two weeks, after the ratification of the presidential election results by Congress and the funeral of former US President Jimmy Carter.

Washington is used to these kinds of events, but rarely do so many happen in such a short period of time. City officials are preparing to welcome fewer visitors than those who attended Trump's first inauguration eight years ago, when officials predicted up to a million people would flock to Washington.

Barricades have already been erected on the streets surrounding the White House, the Capitol, and part of the route the new US president will take. A record 48 kilometers of security barriers with bars have been placed in the security perimeter.

In addition, about 25,000 police and military personnel will be deployed to Washington, according to Matt McCool, a Secret Service agent who is responsible for protecting important political figures and of course presidents.

"We have a more solid security plan than in previous years," he said this week, adding that "a number of security measures have been taken, some of which are visible and some of which are not."

In addition, guests at the swearing-in will be subject to background checks, snipers will have taken up positions on the roofs of neighboring buildings, drones will monitor the event from above, and security teams will be on the ground. “What has changed is that we are in an environment that is more threatening,” Makoul said.
