"The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America! It's a bond too strong to ever be broken."
"If I had misspoken in that way or said those words, I would certainly apologise."
"We must never forget their sacrifice."
Donald Trump praised UK soldiers and acknowledged the 457 British fatalities in Afghanistan after Prime Minister Keir Starmer rebuked his earlier remarks about European troops staying off the front lines. Starmer called the comments insulting and appalling and said he would apologise if he had misspoken. The two leaders spoke, and Starmer emphasized the bravery and sacrifice of British and American personnel who fought side by side. Prince Harry said those sacrifices deserve truthful, respectful acknowledgment. Several NATO allies, including Italy, Poland, and France, also reacted angrily to the remarks.
