Former President Donald Trump defended his decision to host a golf tournament financed by Saudi Arabia at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey amid mounting criticism from the families of those who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

LIV Golf is financed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, which is chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
