Donald Trump is reportedly set to skip the 25th anniversary 9/11 Memorial Ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City after museum organisers allegedly turned down his request to speak. The reported decision means the POTUS will not join other major political figures gathering at the site of the Twin Towers to mark the milestone.
For context, the reported snub relates to a long-standing policy at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Politicians have reportedly been barred from speaking at the ceremony since 2012, according to an arrangement reported at the time by the Associated Press and The New York Times.
