Trump to mark 9/11 at Pentagon, not New York
On the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, US President Donald Trump announced he would mark the event at the Pentagon, not in New York City, according to a report by The New York Times. Trump denied skipping the New York memorial due to a disagreement over a speech, stating he would instead honor the victims at the Pentagon.
The attacks, carried out by Al-Qaeda, killed nearly 3,000 people, with planes crashing into the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon near Washington, and a field in Pennsylvania. The White House said Vice President Kamala Harris would still attend the New York memorial, with administration officials expected at all three sites.
Trump's social media post criticized the newspaper, accusing it of creating "Corrupt News" and mocking the New York memorial as a "solemn ceremony."
