Trump's plans for September 11, 25 years since the terror attacks
President Trump is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks at the Pentagon, marking the second consecutive year he has chosen this location over New York City. Vice President Vans, along with former Presidents Obama, Biden, Clinton, and George W. Bush, will represent the administration at the World Trade Center site in New York City. Other officials will attend a ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to honor the victims of United Flight 93. The White House will also issue online memorials.
The President's choice of commemoration site highlights a tradition of presidential presence at the Pentagon for this solemn anniversary, with other high-ranking officials and former presidents dispersed to other key memorial locations.
President Trump is scheduled to depart for Ireland later today for a planned trip to the Irish Open.
