Keir Starmer released a strongly-worded video slamming Donald Trump's assertion that NATO troops avoided the front lines in Afghanistan. The post ‘Appalling’: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Slams Trump’s Claims About NATO Soldiers in Afghanistan first appeared on Mediaite.

A total of 457 British service personnel were killed fighting in Afghanistan.

President Trump said that NATO soldiers stayed “a little off the front lines” during the conflict. In Britain, which lost 457 soldiers in the war, the response was swift.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Trump was “wrong” to diminish the role of NATO and British troops in Afghanistan.

European veterans, families of the fallen, and politicians are voicing outrage over Trump's claim NATO allies stayed behind the front lines in Afghanistan.

“If I had misspoken in that way, or said those words, I would certainly apologize,” said Starmer.

Prince Harry responded to President Trump's comments on NATO's role in Afghanistan, talking about the “sacrifices” made by military personnel.  | World News
