Trump to mark 9/11 at Pentagon after Ground Zero speech ban
TL;DR Summary
Trump will skip the 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero because the memorial bans politicians from speaking to keep the site nonpartisan; instead, he will observe the 25th anniversary at the Pentagon with Vice President JD Vance representing the White House, aided by his travel plans to Doonbeg, Ireland. The move follows reporting that planners reminded Trump of the site’s rule, a policy in place since 2012 after families’ concerns, with White House officials saying the day will honor victims and first responders.
