Donald Trump inauguration LIVE: Mukesh and Nita Ambani attend pre-inauguration dinner

US President-elect Donald Trump hosted a pre-inauguration dinner in Washington, D.C., where prominent global figures, including Indian business magnates Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, and Nita Ambani, Chairperson of Reliance Foundation, were present. The event marked a celebratory gathering ahead of Trump’s second swearing-in ceremony as the 47th President of the United States.
The Ambanis are expected to attend the inauguration on January 20, where Trump will take the oath of office inside the US Capitol Rotunda. This decision was made to avoid potential risks posed by an ongoing Arctic blast sweeping across the country. Trump announced on Truth Social, stating, "I want to ensure the safety of everyone during this historic moment."
The dinner also saw participation from other Indian entrepreneurs like Kalpesh Mehta, Founder of Tribeca Developers, and Pankaj Bansal, Managing Director of M3M Developers, who have collaborated on Trump Tower projects in India. Kalpesh Mehta shared a photo on Instagram with the caption: “Fun night with Nita and Mukesh Ambani at the inaugural event for President Trump.”
As preparations continue for the official swearing-in ceremony, Trump’s agenda for his first day back in office includes key actions such as ramping up border security, revising Biden-era policies, and addressing energy production. These bold plans have been pivotal to his campaign and remain a focal point of his presidency.
