Trump hailed the heroism the passengers on United Flight 93 demonstrated when they fought for control of the aircraft after learning the hijackers' intentions, telling their relatives "America will never forget what your loved ones did for all of us."
On the U.S. West Coast, memorial tributes were held across Southern California to commemorate the 17th anniversary of 9/11.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti attended an annual remembrance ceremony at the Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center of Los Angeles Fire Department along with visiting Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and hundreds of people.
A piece of metal from the World Trade Center was on display at the Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center in a tribute to the 343 New York firefighters who gave their lives 17 years ago.
Garcetti said during the ceremony that the attacks "shook the world" but the terrorists "did not stop us."
In other cities across Southern California, memorial services were held featuring a moment of silence and lowering of flags.
Nearly 4,000 students and staff from Arcadia High School gathered in the morning for a memorial tribute. They are joined by representatives from the U.S. Marine Corps, Army, Arcadia Fire Department, and Arcadia Police Department.
"We have held this tribute for the past several years, and it's a very powerful, emotional history lesson and reminder for our students, many of whom weren't even born when this tragedy happened," said Ryan Foran, Chief Communications Officer of Arcadia Unified School District.
