US marks 25 years since 9/11 amid deep political division

The piece reflects on how the solidarity seen after the attacks has eroded, with current divisions contrasting sharply with the post-2001 consensus. This is an analytical retrospective rather than a new development, but it underscores the persistent domestic fragmentation that shapes US policy and market sentiment.
