From 4m agoUS marks 25 years since the 9/11 attacksHello and welcome to the US politics live blog.It is the 25th anniversary of 9/11, as Americans come together to remember and commemorate the devastating effects of the attacks, which claimed the lives of 2,977 victims.Today’s milestone anniversary will bring memorial rituals – wreath-laying, flag-flying, moments of silence, vigils and readings of victims’ names - and volunteer projects in tribute to the day.“In the course of history, there are a few moments that divide time into, really, what came before” and after, president Donald Trump said at a 9/11 remembrance in Washington this week.The Republican, who was in New York on 11 September 2001, has often recounted his memories and said he plans to attend the Pentagon’s anniversary ceremony later today.Vice-president JD Vance is expected to attend the observance at the National September 11 Memorial in New York, while other administration officials are headed to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania.Planned remembrances extend far beyond the attack sites, from beams of light projecting from New Hampshire’s Mount Washington to a stair climb at Mississippi State University’s football stadium to a ceremony at Honolulu’s 9/11 memorial.In other developments elsewhere today:
