Mr. President, pay tribute to the 9/11 family. Decrypt and publish information revealing Saudi Arabia’s connection with the barbaric 9/11 attacks. Hold the Saudis responsible for their continued atrocities in Yemen. Americans deserve the truth. https://t.co/cVjEuoebYl

The statement read: “Until the president fulfills his promise, we cannot sincerely welcome the president to our holy land.”
The statement further stated that there is no reason to keep information confidential. The decision of previous governments to do so under the guise of national security is not worthwhile, and urges the current president to take a stand before they do so.
“Twenty years later, there is no reason-baseless’national security’ or other claims-to keep this information confidential,” The statement read. “But if President Biden abandons his promise and stands on the side of the Saudi government, we will be forced to publicly oppose his government’s participation in any 9/11 memorial ceremonies.”
I disagree with any family members’ appeals. As we all know, my brother died of cancer related to 9/11. He is the doctor in charge of triage at the World Trade Center. I will attend the 9/11 commemorative event in New York. @POTUS @乔拜登 , I am honored to have you join us. https://t.co/DsvqiqisWH

“Based on the evidence we collected during our investigation, I concluded that the diplomatic and intelligence personnel of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia deliberately provided material support to the two 9/11 hijackers and facilitated the 9/11 conspiracy. I am investigating Colleagues in China also agreed with this conclusion,” Moore said at the time.
“Until the President fulfills his promise, we cannot sincerely welcome him to our holy place with respect to those who are lost, sick and injured…” https://t.co/PLS7V5lGGh

As for Biden, the organization believes that Biden needs to take action, but for now, the United States refuses to disclose documents and destroy the close relationship between the two governments, which is equivalent to sprinkling salt on their wounds.
“There should not be so many battles, the President of the United States should stand by our side,” Brett Iggerson, whose father was killed in the attack, told NBC.
