Image doesn't load in pygame

I'm having trouble uploading an image in pygame. Here's my code.

import pygame, sys

from pygame.locals import *

def Capitals():

    pygame.init()
    DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 400))
    pygame.display.set_caption('Capitals')
    BLACK = (  0, 0, 0)
    WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
    RED = (255, 0, 0)
    GREEN = (0, 255, 0)
    BLUE = (0, 0, 255) 
    DISPLAYSURF.fill(WHITE)
    DISPLAYSURF=pygame.image.load('USA.jpg').convert()
    while True:
     for event in pygame.event.get():
      if event.type==QUIT:
       pygame.quit()
       sys.exit()
      pygame.display.update()

The picture isn't having a problem loading on the python page, there is no "cannot open file error", but on the actual pygame window, the image isn't loading.

To display an image on the screen, you have to draw it on the display surface (using blit). What you are doing here

DISPLAYSURF=pygame.image.load('USA.jpg').convert()

is loading the image and assign it to the DISPLAYSURF variable.

So use this instead:

image=pygame.image.load('USA.jpg').convert() # load the image
DISPLAYSURF.blit(image, (0, 0)) # blit it to the screen
