Donald Trump’s reversal of his claims about British forces in Afghanistan is “as good as it gets” in terms of an apology from the US president, the Home Secretary has said.

Mr Trump sparked fury in the UK and other allied nations on Thursday after suggesting Nato troops stayed off the front lines during the conflict in Afghanistan.
