UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday slammed Donald Trump’s claim that NATO forces in Afghanistan avoided the front line as “insulting” and suggested the US leader should apologise.

“I consider President Trump’s remarks to be insulting and frankly appalling, and I’m not surprised they’ve caused such hurt to the loved ones of those who were killed or injured,” Starmer said, adding that had he misspoken in such a way “I would certainly apologise.”
