By GlobalDataUnited States remembers 9/11 victims
President of the United States Donald Trump will be in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, today to deliver a speech at the newly-inaugurated Tower of Voices, a memorial constructed to honour the victims of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed down near the town during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Today marks 17 years since almost 3,000 people lost their lives in a string of attacks orchestrated by terrorist group al-Qaeda.
Passenger planes were hijacked and crashed into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The fourth plane was believed to be heading towards Washington D.C., but its hijackers were overpowered by passengers and airline staff.
A separate ceremony will take place at the Pentagon Memorial in South Arlington, Virginia. This will be attended by Vice President Mike Pence and Defence Secretary Jim Mattis.
Woodward offers insight into the Trump Whitehouse
American journalist Bob Woodward today releases his long-awaited account of the ongoing presidency of Donald Trump.
Fear: Trump in the White House follows a similar script to prior releases, such as Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s Unhinged: An Insider’s Account of the Trump White House and Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.
Books on Trump’s presidency have proved to be incredible popular, with many reaching the top of best-seller lists.
Extracts from Fear: Trump in the White House leaked ahead of its publication. Tales in Woodward’s book include aides stealing and hiding paperwork to stall the US President from signing off on key documents, and petty name-calling between Trump and his staff.
