Donald Trump confirms his attendance at the Pentagon for the 25th anniversary of 9/11
Former United States President Donald Trump has made official his decision to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks from the Pentagon, located in the state of Virginia. This choice marks a significant difference from the events that will take place at Ground Zero in New York.
When asked by the press about the reasons behind his choice not to be present in New York, the site where the planes struck the Twin Towers, Trump was direct in pointing out that his presence will be focused on the Pentagon. This place was the scene where a third plane struck, claiming the lives of 184 people during the historic day of attacks.
A historical memory anniversary
It has been 25 years since the country faced the most devastating terrorist attacks in its recent history, leaving a toll of nearly 3,000 fatalities. The day of commemoration also remembers the bravery of the passengers of the fourth plane, which crashed in an open field in Pennsylvania after a revolt to prevent the aircraft from reaching its target, which is presumed to have been the White House or the Pentagon itself.
Political agenda in New York
For his part, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has confirmed his attendance at the official ceremony in the Big Apple. This event is distinguished by being a solemn act in which figures from diverse political currents gather to carry out the reading of the names of all the victims, maintaining the tradition of not including political speeches, focusing the approach exclusively on the tribute to the deceased.
