In his speech, Trump also took credit for facilitating the return of TikTok in the United States, following its removal due to national security concerns.
He stated that an executive order scheduled for his first day in office would delay the app's ban.
Additionally, he claimed that his election victory was pivotal in achieving a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, mentioning the release of hostages as a result of these diplomatic efforts.

In preparation for his inauguration on January 20, President-elect Trump has scheduled most of the day's activities indoors due to anticipated cold weather conditions.
The ceremony will see him sworn into office for his second term following his initial presidency from 2016 to 2020, after winning the election against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
The upcoming inauguration is noted for its scaled-down nature compared to previous ceremonies, with a rehearsal held in the US Capitol's Rotunda, accommodating a significantly smaller number of attendees than initially planned.
President-elect Trump has hinted that his inaugural address will focus on themes of unity, strength, and fairness, despite a campaign that featured rhetoric of pursuing measures against political adversaries.
