WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Flags at the U.S. Capitol will fly at full-staff "to celebrate our country coming together" for incoming president Donald Trump's inauguration, House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a post on X on Tuesday.

Johnson said the flags will then be lowered back to half-staff the following day in honor of president Jimmy Carter.
