A current bipartisan bill that has been introduced in both the House and Senate will allow 9/11 victims to sue the Saudi government for any involvement in the attacks. Though Congressional leaders Ryan and McConnell have expressed their concern over the bill, they will cautiously continue to look at the bill and make sure it does as little harm to United States-Saudi relations before passing it. The Saudi Arabian government strongly opposes the bill, and it has threatened to sell off billions of dollars in U.S. assets if the bill passes. President Obama, with diplomatic interests in mind, vows to veto the bill if it makes it through both houses.
