Former President Donald Trump announced plans to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at the Pentagon rather than Ground Zero in New York City. The decision follows a pattern of alternating locations for his annual remembrance events.
Trump, who has marked the anniversary at Ground Zero in previous years, will attend the Pentagon commemoration on September 11. The Pentagon was one of the three targets struck during the 2001 attacks, alongside the World Trade Center and a failed strike in Pennsylvania.
The shift in location reflects Trump’s evolving approach to the remembrance, though he has not publicly detailed the reason for the change. The Pentagon ceremony will honor the 184 victims killed in the attack on the military headquarters.
