British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned President Donald Trump's false claims that non-American NATO troops “stayed a little back” from the front line during the war in Afghanistan.
“I consider President Trump's remarks to be insulting and, frankly, appalling,” said Starmer on Friday, adding he was not surprised the comments had caused “such hurt” across the country.
Starmer paid tribute to the “457 [members] of our armed services who lost their lives in Afghanistan” and vowed to never forget the sacrifice they made to the United Kingdom. He also paid respect to the many more who were injured, “some with life-changing” injuries.
