Trump will commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 at the Pentagon instead of Ground Zero
President Trump will mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks at the Pentagon rather than attending the ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City. The National September 11 Memorial and Museum has prohibited politicians from speaking at the Ground Zero ceremony since 2012. Vice President JD Vance will attend the New York ceremony in Trump's place, and administration officials will be present at all three attack sites.
