U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will examine a request from relatives of September 11 victims to release additional government documents related to the 2001 attacks.
"I will look at it when I get back," Trump told reporters in Ireland before boarding a plane to Washington.
The announcement came as Trump prepared to depart Ireland following his visit to the country. Families of victims from the September 11, 2001 attacks have long sought the declassification and public release of additional files and records connected to the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
Trump's statement indicates he is open to reviewing the matter, though he did not commit to a specific timeline or outcome. The request represents an ongoing effort by victim families to obtain information they believe should be made public regarding the attacks and the government's response.
