Trump: America Will Never Fear Terrorism

US President Donald Trump paid tribute to the victims of the 11 September 2001 assassinations today, stressing that America will never forget and fear terrorism.

The horror and anguish of that dark day are engraved on our memory forever”, the American president declared during a ceremony at the Pentagon where one of four aircraft seized by al-Qaeda pirates crashed.

The “that day the world changed, but we have all also changed”, he added, recalling these attacks that shocked the country and forced the US to undertake a broad military offensive in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban regime in power, which protected the owners of the assassinations.

“America cannot fear”, he warned by addressing terrorists who have tried to break US commitment.

We will do everything they never find shelter to carry out attacks against our country. There will be no place to hide on earth”, he stressed.

After long confirming, prior to his election that he supported a withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan, Donald Trump announced at the end of August sending additional troops without providing any details about the figure.

About 11,000 American soldiers are currently in place.

Just before the ceremony at the Pentagon, Donald and Melanie Trump held a minute of silence in the White House garden.

As every year since the drama, the first moment of the wait took place at 8:46 local time, the hour in which the first plane taken by Al-Qaeda attacked one of the two World Trade Center (WTC) towers.

At the same time, a minute of silence was also held at Ground Zero in New York.

Thousands of people gathered in front of two large basins built instead of twin towers, with the participation of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg.
