Trump is scheduled to speak at the Arlington, Virginia, memorial at the War Department, deviating from his initial plan to visit Manhattan, partly to participate in the 25th anniversary commemoration. Historically, U.S. presidents and politicians have either spoken at the Pentagon or in Pennsylvania during September 11 anniversaries. In 2025,Trump lead a wreath-laying and delivered remarks at the Pentagon. In 2024,he attended Ground Zero alongside othre officials. The annual memorial at Ground Zero typically forbids speeches from politicians to maintain a non-political tone. The 2026 marks 25 years as the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people across New York City,the Pentagon,and Pennsylvania. The article notes the White House\u2019s response to related reports and mentions ongoing legal efforts by 9\/11 attackers\u2019 associates opposed to the death penalty.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> will be attending the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pentagon\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"271\">Pentagon\u2019s<\/a> memorial of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/september-11-terrorist-attacks\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"586\">Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks<\/a> instead of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"286\">New York City\u2019s <\/a>memorial at Ground Zero, according to a new report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump will speak at the Sept. 11 memorial ceremony at the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-defense\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"335\">War Department <\/a>headquarters Arlington, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/virginia\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"96\">Virginia<\/a>, pivoting from his initial plan to head to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/manhattan\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1284\">Manhattan<\/a> partially because he wanted to give a speech for the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/08\/27\/us\/politics\/trump-911-pentagon-ground-zero.html\">report<\/a> from <em>The New York Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4703773\/trump-to-honor-9-11-at-pentagon-after-nyc-memorial-forbids-speech-report\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump to honor 9\/11 at Pentagon after NYC memorial forbids speech: Report<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4702952\/five-ways-karoline-leavitt-changed-white-house-press-shop\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Five ways Karoline Leavitt helped change the White House press shop<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4703181\/marine-one-pilots-knew-communication-issues-before-close-call\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Marine One pilots knew about communication issues before close-call incident, NTSB says<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National September 11 Memorial and Museum, which hosts the annual memorial of the attack at Ground Zero, has forbade speeches from politicians during its yearly a-political ceremony.
