Former President Joe Biden will mark the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks with service members in Alaska – marking the first time a U.S. president will observe the solemn anniversary at a site other than New York, Virginia, or Pennsylvania.
The White House announced the unusual locale on Monday, on the same day it revealed the president was adding another country to his itinerary – adversary turned partner Vietnam.
Biden will stop in Alaska on the return from his trip to India for the G20 summit, which will be followed by a stop in Hanoi, in a visit likely to send a signal about countering the threat from China.
Vice President Kamala Harris will commemorate the anniversary of the attacks in New York along with second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the White House announced.
The White House didn’t announce any plans for Pennsylvania.
