Trump to Mark 25th Anniversary of 9/11 at Pentagon Instead of Ground Zero: Reports
Trump is expected to mark the 25th anniversary of the attacks at the Pentagon after being barred from speaking at Ground Zero, the Times reported.
- President Donald Trump will skip the 25th anniversary 9/11 ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City after organizers barred him from delivering remarks; instead, he will commemorate the day at the Pentagon, where he is permitted to speak.
- The National September 11 Memorial & Museum has barred elected officials from delivering speeches at the annual commemoration since 2012, a policy intended to keep the event 'free of politics' and centered on victims' families reading names.
- Before changing plans, Trump's team conducted advance visits to the Manhattan site; departing from Maryland for his subsequent trip to the Irish Open in Doonbeg, Ireland, also proved more straightforward logistically.
- Vice President JD Vance will represent the White House at the New York City ceremony, while former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama are expected to attend alongside former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
- Following a Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, on September 9 and 10, the President will travel to the Pentagon; officials discussed incorporating a 9/11 tribute into that event, though the plan has drawn scrutiny over blending commemoration with campaigning.
