“It is incomprehensible to us, Mr. Trump, that a former president of the United States would cast our loved ones aside for personal financial gain,” a letter from the group 9/11 Justice stated.
Family members of people who perished during the September 11, 2001 attack in New York City are urging former President Donald Trump to cancel two upcoming events his golf course is hosting in partnership with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf International Series.
LIV Golf was founded by former pro golfer Greg Norman and aims to challenge the PGA Tour. The league is an eight-tournament circuit that features seven regular-season tournaments and one team event in October. It will be hosted at golf courses near Boston, Chicago and Miami in the United States — one event was already held in Portland, Ore. — and internationally in Thailand and Saudi Arabia .
“We simply cannot understand how you could agree to accept money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s golf league to host their tournament at your golf course, and to do so in the shadows of ground zero in New Jersey, which lost over 700 residents during the attacks,” the letter continued.
