British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sharply criticized US President Donald Trump's statement that British soldiers did not participate in front-line combat in Afghanistan, calling the remarks extremely insulting.
According to reports, Keir Starmer described the statement as "shameful" and emphasized that US President Donald Trump should apologize officially for this declaration. The head of the British government noted that the activities of British soldiers in operations in Afghanistan were of significant importance to the country and that questioning these services is unacceptable.
According to Starmer, maintaining mutual respect among allies is important, and such statements harm both the memory of the soldiers and international partnership.
