9/11 widow calls out government for protecting Saudis at 9/11 ceremony

Terry Strada said 25 years of administrations protected Saudi Arabia instead of 9/11 families and urged Trump to stop the kingdom from denying its role.

  • During Friday's 25th-anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero, 9/11 Families United chair Terry Strada urged President Donald Trump to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the 2001 attacks, citing the kingdom's alleged role.
  • Families have long sought justice, noting that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals, though Saudi Arabia has consistently denied any state involvement or responsibility for the tragedy.
  • While Vice President Vance attended the New York ceremony, President Trump marked the anniversary at the Pentagon, where observers and media reports noted he appeared to doze off during the event.
  • Legal efforts continue, with a federal appeals panel in Manhattan scheduled to hear arguments next month regarding litigation that seeks to leverage newly unsealed evidence against Saudi Arabia.
