The official portraits United States President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance have been released, just days before their inauguration.
Both of the strongly lit portraits depict the duo wearing blue suits over white collared shirts and blue ties, with Trump displaying an American flag pin on his lapel.
The new images were taken by Mr Trump’s chief photographer Daniel Torok and shared by his transition team, with Torok writing on X: “We are entering the GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA!”.
The pose and framing of Trump's portrait hails back to his 2023 mugshot, with multiple news outlets reporting the similarities between the two photos.
This seemingly play off of the image when he was indicted for election racketeering in Georgia is a sharp contrast to his 2017 official portrait which was all broad smiles.
