President Donald Trump led commemorations at the White House Ellipse to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The events, organized in part by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, featured a 21-foot steel beam from the World Trade Center South Tower as part of the ‘Steel Across America’ exhibition. During his remarks, Trump proclaimed the day as Patriot Day, renewed the national vow to ‘Never Forget,’ and emphasized American resilience. He honored fallen heroes, including Welles Crowther, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Trump also stated that the United States would use ‘all its power’ to prevent future large-scale attacks. While addressing the anniversary, Trump also touched on foreign policy regarding Iran, asserting that the U.S. is in conflict with the nation and vowing to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons. Additionally, Trump faced scrutiny for repeating claims regarding his personal experiences at Ground Zero that contradict previous statements. ~~The week of commemorations is scheduled~~ Critics, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, have challenged Trump’s assertions that he led a construction workforce to ~~continue with services at~~ Ground Zero immediately following the ~~Pentagon~~ attacks and was evacuated by firefighters, noting that archival records and media reports place him at Trump Tower during the ~~World Trade Center.~~ attacks.
