No. On September 11, 2026 — the 25th anniversary of the attacks — President Donald Trump marked the day with remarks at the Pentagon rather than attending the Ground Zero ceremony in New York. Vice President JD Vance represented the administration in Manhattan, where he was joined by the four living former presidents: George W. Bush, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton.
Reporting from the anniversary described Trump’s New York absence as unusual for a sitting president on a milestone year; organizers of the Ground Zero program do not allow political speeches. The attacks on September 11, 2001, killed 2,977 people.
