New York billionaire Donald Trump has attacked the plans for a new skyscraper on the Ground Zero site, describing the Freedom Tower design as "disgusting".
The businessman says he is giving his support to a rival design based closely on that of the destroyed Twin Towers.
The rebuilding of the World Trade Center site is of crucial financial and emotional importance to New York.
Mr Trump's intervention comes as the entire project has fallen into chaos. It is at least a year behind schedule.
The entire future of Daniel Libeskind's Freedom Tower design is also facing the axe because of concerns about security.
