Trump to mark Pentagon 25th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, skips Ground Zero ceremony
President Trump will attend a ceremony at the Pentagon next month to honor the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, but he is not expected to join the annual memorial at Ground Zero.
A source familiar with the plans says Trump intends to be present for the Pentagon commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The same source indicates he will likely miss the yearly service held at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan. The White House has not responded to requests for comment. The story is still developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
Why it matters
It shows how the president will publicly honor a major national tragedy while altering traditional participation.
