President opts for Pentagon event over New York memorial on 9/11 anniversary
President Donald Trump will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks at the Pentagon, while Vice President JD Vance is expected to attend the Ground Zero ceremony in New York. The White House dismissed a report that Trump chose the Pentagon after being denied a speaking role at the New York event, which traditionally has no speeches. Trump last attended the Ground Zero ceremony in 2024.
