'SAY SORRY': Starmer Tells Trump To Apologise For 'INSULTING' NATO Troops Who Fought In Afghanistan

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sharply condemned U.S. President Donald Trump after remarks suggesting British and NATO troops avoided the front line in Afghanistan. Speaking from Downing Street, Starmer called the comments “insulting” and “appalling,” paying tribute to the 457 British service members who died fighting alongside U.S. forces after the September 11 attacks. "If I had misspoken in that way or said those words, I would certainly apologise," he said. The remarks have sparked anger across the UK, with Starmer stressing that British troops fought and bled on the front line for shared values, freedom, and alliance solidarity — warning that such statements risk wounding families, veterans, and the foundations of the transatlantic partnership.
