New official portraits of US President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance have been released days ahead of the Republican’s return to the White House.
The images were released on social media yesterday by Trump’s chief photographer, Daniel Torok.
Torok posted them with the caption, “We are entering the Golden Age of America”.
Trump is depicted unsmiling and looking fixedly at the camera.
He is wearing a dark blue suit and tie, with US flag lapel pin.
Vance is similarly attired, but is shown smiling with his arms crossed.

Trump’s 2025 presidential portrait appears similar, if more starkly lit, to his December 2016 portrait as president-elect.
His first official presidential portrait, however, released nine months into his first term in 2017, shows him smiling.
Trump and Vance will both take the oath of office at their inauguration ceremony on Monday local time in Washington DC.
