Widow Slams Saudis at 9/11 Ceremony, Reminds Trump It’s Not Just Hotel Deals

KEY POINTS

•Terry Strada, widow of a 9/11 victim, used the NYC ceremony to criticize Saudi Arabia openly.
•She accused the Trump administration and other US leaders of defending Saudi Arabia over 9/11 families for 25 years.
•Axios' Barak Ravid reported Prince Mohammed bin Salman urges Trump for US military support amid Yemen conflicts.

At New York’s 9/11 25th anniversary reading of names, Terry Strada, widow of a victim, didn’t exactly whisper sweet nothings about Saudi Arabia’s alleged terror ties—she roasted them like last year's Thanksgiving turkey. She called out the Trump administration, best known for its bromance with Saudi Crown Prince MBS, who reportedly urges Trump for US military favors like it’s a VIP club membership. Strada’s exact quote, 'For 25 years, administrations have chosen Saudis over 9/11 families,' proves that American diplomacy sometimes feels like a weird soap opera with terrible casting. Axios reporter Barak Ravid noted this saga overlaps with ongoing US battles with Yemen's Houthis, making it all one big geopolitical sitcom.

When you spend 25 years defending your best bud’s kingdom while widows read 9/11 victims’ names, you might have a loyalty problem more twisted than MBS’s dance moves.

Nothing says ‘we got your back’ like cozy meetings with the guy whose country’s under 9/11 family suspicion since forever.
