US president Donald Trump on Saturday praised “brave” British soldiers as warriors, a day after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described his earlier remarks about NATO troops in Afghanistan as “insulting and appalling.”
“The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America! In Afghanistan, 457 died, many were badly injured, and they were among the greatest of all warriors. It’s a bond too strong to ever be broken. The U.K. Military, with tremendous Heart and Soul, is second to none (except for the USA!). We love you all, and always will!” Trump said through a post on Truth Social.
