He was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011, by a United States military special operations unit executing Operation Neptune's Spear.
Now, Noor Bin Ladin, who according to the New York Post spells her name differently from her notorious uncle, says that only Trump "can prevent another 9/11."
The Swiss-born bin Ladin, 33, is not eligible to vote in November's election, but calls herself "an American at heart," the daily said.
"ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe. Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike," bin Ladin, told the New York Post in her first-ever interview.
"I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man's resolve. He must be re-elected … It's vital for the future of not only America, but western civilization as a whole.
"You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core … [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society," she continued. "In the US it's very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology."
Bin Ladin is the daughter of Carmen Dufour, a Swiss author, and Yeslam bin Ladin, an older half-brother of Osama. Dufour and Yeslam split in 1988 and Noor, along with her two sisters, Wafah and Najia, were raised in Switzerland.
According to the report, Unlike her socialite older sister Wafah, Noor bin Ladin has kept a low profile. She has a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Geneva and a master's in commercial law from the University of London. She is currently writing a book analyzing the first 20 years of the 21st century.
