Keir Starmer has slapped down Donald Trump over his claims that NATO and UK troops stayed “a little off the front line” in Afghanistan. Starmer said in Downing Street:
“I will never forget their courage, their bravery and the sacrifice they made for their country. There were many also who were injured, some with life-changing injuries. I consider President Trump’s remarks to be insulting and frankly appalling and I am not surprised they have caused such hurt to the loved ones of those who were killed or injured and, in fact, across the country.”
Strong words for a PM reversing the Northern Ireland legacy legislation. Trump at risk of turning a big week into a loss…
