British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has issued an apology for leaving the 80th-anniversary commemorations of D-Day early in order to film a TV interview. This decision has sparked criticism and further disrupted his ongoing general election campaign.
Sunak was present at the initial segment of the commemorative events in Normandy, France, on Thursday. However, he opted to skip the international ceremony at Omaha Beach, which saw the participation of various world leaders and veterans of the historic Allied operation in 1944.
