As the U.S. marks the solemn anniversary, world leaders pay tribute to those lives lost.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Sept. 11, 2001, “remains etched in the world’s memory,” he posted to X.
“We do not forget the lives cut short, nor the courage of those who risked everything to bring aid. To the victims, the families, the American people, I express France’s tribute and its brotherhood.”
Vingt-cinq ans.

Le 11 septembre 2001 demeure gravé dans la mémoire du monde.
Nous n’oublions ni les vies fauchées, ni le courage de ceux qui ont tout risqué pour porter secours.
Aux victimes, aux familles, au peuple américain, j’exprime l’hommage de la France et sa fraternité.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said, “Time may pass, but I know the grief is still felt just as deeply today,” NBC News reported.
He added, “Terror still knocks on the door of democracy, but the United Kingdom and the United States stand together in memory of those we lost, and in defense of the values we cherish.”
Sixty-seven Britons were killed on 9/11.
On X, Burnham wrote, “On this anniversary, we must remember that hatred and fear did not have the last word on 9/11. The terrorists sought to weaken and divide America, and everyone who believes in the values our countries share.
“But our response was clear: those who seek to destroy our way of life will never win.”
First lady Melania Trump wrote on social media, “To those who lost loved ones, dreams, and hope on September 11, I know today marks only one day in an immeasurable void,” CNN reported.
