Some family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks use the 25th anniversary ceremonies in New York to publicly call on President Donald Trump to hold Saudi Arabia accountable. ABC News and Bloomberg both report that the appeals are made during the ceremony period.
Both outlets frame the intervention as a bid to pressure the administration over the role Saudi Arabia may have played in the attacks, which occurred nearly a quarter-century ago. ABC News describes the calls for Trump to hold Saudis accountable, while Bloomberg specifies that the families are urging accountability for alleged complicity in the United States’ worst terrorist attack. The reports focus on the families’ statements at the event, rather than on new evidence or changes to official findings.
