President Donald Trump warned would-be terrorists that ‘America cannot be intimidated’ on Monday as he delivered remarks at the Pentagon honoring the men and women who perished on September 11, 2001.
Trump said on his first 9/11 as president that America will never again provide safe haven to terrorists who want to destroy the nation and its values.
Those that try to defy him ‘will join the long list of vanquished enemies’ who dared to test our mettle, Trump said.
‘We are making plain to these savage killers, that there is no dark corner beyond our reach, no sanctuary beyond our grasp, and nowhere to hide anywhere on this very large earth,’ Trump declared.
The president proclaimed in his address from the Department of Defense’s headquarters, ‘Our values will endure, our people will thrive, our nation will prevail, and the memory of our loved ones will never, ever die.’
He delivered the remarks on Monday morning after holding a moment of silence with First Lady Melania Trump on the White House’s South Lawn this morning.
