Trump Claims NATO Stayed Off Front Lines, Triggers UK Political Backlash | WION Originals

Описание: US President Donald Trump has claimed NATO troops stayed “a little off the front lines” during the war in Afghanistan, saying he was unsure whether allied nations would support the United States if ever needed. The remarks, made during a Fox News interview, sparked sharp criticism in the UK. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed the claim as “flat-out nonsense”, while Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey cited the deaths of 457 British troops. Labour MP Emily Thornberry called the remarks an “absolute insult” to fallen soldiers, and UK minister Stephen Kinnock said the comments were “disappointing” and “wrong”. Britain joined the US-led war after NATO invoked Article 5 following the 9/11 attacks.
