Flags to be flown at full-staff at Capitol on Trump’s inauguration

WASHINGTON

US House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Tuesday that flags will be flown at full-staff at the Capitol on President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration day.

"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump," Johnson said in a statement.

He added that the flags would return to half-staff the following day, Tuesday, to continue honoring former President Jimmy Carter.

Carter, who passed away on Dec. 29 at the age of 100, is being honored with a 30-day national mourning period. President Joe Biden ordered flags to be flown at half-staff through sunset on Jan. 28.
