Trump honors UK soldiers after Afghanistan comments

His comments followed controversial claims that NATO troops had not been near the frontlines, which sparked strong criticism from UK political figures, including Sir Keir Starmer, who called the remarks “insulting” and Prince Harry, who defended the UK’s military record. Trump emphasized the unbreakable bond between the UK and the US military.
