Donald Trump's U-turn on Britain's role in Afghanistan came after King Charles III's concerns were raised with the President.
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 called the president’s remarks “insulting and frankly appalling.”
US President Donald Trump's claim that Nato troops stayed back from the front lines during the 20-year war in Afghanistan has sparked widespread outrage among European military veterans and relatives of the fallen.
After September 11, Denmark fought alongside its ally. The families of fallen soldiers have a message for Trump.
