Trump to skip 9/11 commemoration at Ground Zero because he won’t be allowed to speak — NYT

President Donald Trump reportedly plans to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks at the Pentagon rather than at Ground Zero in New York, partly because he will not be allowed to deliver a speech at the memorial. This was reported by The New York Times.

Initially, the president intended to join former presidents and other officials in Manhattan on September 11, but these plans were changed after the memorial’s organizers likely reminded Trump‘s team that politicians are prohibited from speaking at the site to maintain its nonpartisan status, according to The New York Times.
