US Flags Will Be Flying At Half-Staff On Jan 20

President-elect Donald Trump has expressed frustration that flags will be flying at half-staff when he takes office later this month.

It's an action put in place by President Joe Biden to honor the late President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at 100. It's not a timeline that Trump can do anything about until after he takes office. On Sunday, Biden ordered that US flags be flown at half-staff in honor of the late former president. It's an honor that indicates that the country or a state is in mourning.

According to Biden's proclamation, US flags will be lowered for 30 days from Carter's death, until January 28. This means that flags will be at half-staff when Trump takes office on January 20 and for the first week of his administration.
