Washington DC - Days after the US commemorated the 25th anniversary of 9/11, President Donald Trump said he will look into potentially releasing records that have been requested by victims' families.

Before taking off on Air Force One for the trip home from Ireland on Sunday, Trump was asked whether he'd look into requests made by families of 9/11 victims to release records related to Saudi Arabia's role in the attacks.

In particular, the Saudi government has long faced accusations of aiding the hijackers, 15 of which were citizens of the Middle Eastern country.

9/11 families want all documents declassified and released that relate to the relationship between hijackers and collaborators and Saudi Arabian authorities.

Pete Hegseth Hegseth's softball 60 Minutes interview faces stunning negative response: "Pathetic!"

"I'm going to look at it when I get back," Trump said on the tarmac. "I know they asked me Friday. I'll be looking at it when I get back."

His comments come only days after Terry Strada, the wife of a victim, called on Trump to "tell the Saudis to stop lying" during a remembrance ceremony in New York City on Friday, which marked the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

"You are missed more with each year that passes, but how can it be 25 years and still we have no justice for the role that Saudi Arabia played in your murder?" she asked.

Trump has had a generally favorable relationship with Saudi Arabia throughout his second term, approving a nuclear deal with the kingdom that will see the US help it enrich uranium for civilian use.

Earlier in September, Washington also approved the sale of $5 billion worth of bombs and weapons to Saudi Arabia for use against Iran and Houthi rebels in Yemen.
