Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported51m ago
New York City is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with a ceremony at Ground Zero. While the event honors the victims of the attacks, U.S. President Donald Trump will not be in attendance at the New York site, choosing instead to pay his respects at the Pentagon.
In addition to the New York commemorations, related events are taking place elsewhere, including a memorial in Surrey, British Columbia, which will host first responders who served during the 2001 attacks. The anniversary in New York has also drawn attention due to the presence of the city’s first Muslim mayor at the ceremony, a detail that has prompted varied public reactions.
