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.
