Trump Seeks Federal Takeover of 9/11 Memorial from New York

The Trump administration announced it was seeking federal control of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in Lower Manhattan, displacing the nonprofit governance structure that has managed the site since its opening in 2011. The administration cited unspecified concerns about the site's management and messaging. New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams both opposed the move, framing it as federal encroachment on a state and city landmark.
