President Trump has issued massive praise for the soldiers of the United Kingdom, calling them “great and very brave” warriors, just days after facing intense international backlash for suggesting NATO allies avoided the front lines in Afghanistan. This quick reversal shows just how much heat the president was under for his words, and frankly, it was a necessary step after some pretty damaging comments about our allies.
The president took to Truth Social on Saturday to clarify his position, making sure to highlight the incredible sacrifice the U.K. made. He emphatically noted that 457 of their soldiers died and many were badly injured during the conflict. President Trump emphasized that the U.K. forces “were among the greatest of all warriors.”
