Trump marks 25th anniversary of 9/11 at the Pentagon
President Donald Trump is set to observe the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by attending the Pentagon's ceremony Friday. This year marks a quarter century since the al-Qaida attacks that claimed nearly 3,000 lives and changed U.S. foreign policy. Trump, originally from New York, last attended the ground zero ceremony there in 2024. Vice President JD Vance will attend the New York observance, while other officials will go to Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
At a Tuesday event in Washington, Trump vowed to “never forget” the victims. He issued a proclamation marking Friday as “Patriot Day 2026.”
