What impact did the 9 1 1 incident have on the United States?

The "9 1 1" incident has a far-reaching impact on American people's hearts, economy, politics and status.

Statistics of property losses after the 9 1 1 incident vary from party to party. According to a report released by the United Nations, the economic losses caused by this terrorist attack amounted to 200 billion US dollars, equivalent to 2% of the GDP of that year. The damage caused by this incident to the global economy even reached about 1 trillion dollars, which had a profound psychological impact on the American people and seriously weakened their sense of economic and political security.

In addition, after the "9 1 1" incident, security has gradually become the primary consideration in formulating various policies in the United States. In recent years, the promulgation of travel ban and the tightening of immigration policy have further torn American society.

On the issue of immigration, Trump signed a travel ban against several Arab countries on the grounds of the 9 1 1 incident; When pursuing the "zero tolerance" immigration policy, Trump also took the 9 1 1 incident as an example, trying to prove the necessity for law enforcement departments to strictly enforce immigration laws.

At present, the United States is adjusting the strategic goal of global counter-terrorism, making limited contraction, and shifting the focus of global counter-terrorism to giving priority to local security, but it still fails to solve the root causes of the existence and growth of terrorism. Faced with the persistent threat of terrorist attacks, some analysts pointed out that whether dealing with old diseases or new diseases, it is essentially testing the domestic security governance ability of the United States.
