A widow of a 9/11 victim criticized Saudi Arabia during the annual reading of names at a New York City ceremony marking the 9/11 anniversary. Terry Strada, the widow, accused the kingdom of having alleged ties to the terror attacks, a claim the kingdom has denied. According to Axios Barak Ravid, Saudi Arabia is actively urging President Trump to provide U.S. military assistance.
The relationship between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and President Trump has been close, but 9/11 families have expressed concerns over U.S. officials' previous interactions with Saudi Arabia. Strada stated that administrations across the 25 years have chosen to support the Saudis rather than stand with the 9/11 families.
