A group of Americans who lost family members in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre is expressing outrage at former president Donald Trump’s decision to allow his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club to host a stop on the Saudi-backed LIV golf tour, citing Saudi Arabia’s role “in organizing and carrying out the 9/11 attacks that killed 2,977 Americans”.
In a letter to Mr Trump, the group, which calls itself 9/11 Justice, said his decision to allow his golf club to host an LIV event has caused “deep pain and anger” for them. They cited his previous statements casting blame for the attacks on Saudi Arabia, the place where the vast majority of the terrorists who hijacked a pair of widebody jets and flew them into the New York City landmark skyscrapers came from.
