Starmer reacts to Trump’s comments on Nato troops in Afghanistan


UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Donald Trump’s remarks about British troops in Afghanistan were “insulting and frankly appalling”.

Donald Trump’s claimed that Nato troops stayed “a little off the front lines” during the war in Afghanistan, provoking anger among UK politicians and veterans’ families.

The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, after it invoked Nato’s collective security clause following the 9/11 terror attacks.

Four-hundred and fifty-seven British service personnel were killed in the conflict.
