Former President Donald Trump on Friday defended his decision to host the LIV Golf Tournament sponsored by the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund at his Bedminster, New Jersey country club.
"I've known these people for a long time in Saudi Arabia and they have been friends of mine for a long time," Trump told The New York Times. "They've invested in many American companies. They own big percentages of many, many American companies and frankly, what they are doing for golf is so great, what they are doing for the players is so great. The salaries are going to go way up."
