Donald Trump is set to return to the White House with a massive agenda, leading a deeply divided United States on a starkly different path from his predecessor — and the Republican leader has signalled it means pushing away from America's closest neighbour and ally.

Canadians will be anxiously watching inauguration day ceremonies to see what is among Trump's early priorities amid threats to slap Canada with a 25 per cent across-the-board tariff on Monday.

His team has reportedly prepared more than 100 executive orders, though it's unclear what is in the package and how many will be signed immediately. "I think we want to see what the president decides to do," Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., told Bloomberg News last week.

Bright red hats and toques with "Trump" scrawled across the front descended on Washington, D.C., over the weekend for rallies and events ahead of the Republican leader's return to office as the 47th president.
