Trump to Attend Pentagon 9/11 Ceremony

Why it matters locally: Given Maryland's proximity to the Pentagon, this event may lead to increased security measures or traffic considerations for residents traveling through the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.

President Donald Trump will visit the Pentagon to observe the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This marks his first time participating in the annual ceremony at the Virginia site. Traditionally, presidents have attended the ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City. This year, Trump will instead join officials and families at the Pentagon, which also sustained a direct attack during the 2001 events. Further details regarding his schedule and remarks were not immediately available.
