UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer slammed US President Donald Trump over his remarks suggesting that NATO forces stayed away from frontline combat during the war in Afghanistan, describing the comments as “insulting and appalling" to British troops and their families.
Responding strongly to Trump’s remarks, Starmer paid tribute to the British soldiers who served in the conflict and demanded an apology from the US President.
“Let me start begin by paying tribute to the 457 members of our armed forces who lost their lives in Afghanistan. I will never forget their courage, their bravery, and the sacrifice they made for their country. Many were injured, some with life-changing injuries. So, I consider US President Donald Trump’s remarks to be insulting and, frankly, appalling," the British PM said while speaking to reporters in London.
