New York City commemorated the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with a formal ceremony at the World Trade Center site. The solemn observance was marked by notable political controversies, specifically regarding attendance and leadership dynamics.

President Donald Trump was absent from the New York ceremony, choosing instead to pay his respects and attend a separate observance at the Pentagon in an unusual move. Meanwhile, the presence of Zohran Mamdani, New York City's first Muslim mayor, drew attendance that reportedly irked some Republicans and provoked right-wing outrage.
