Keir Starmer has openly criticized US President Donald Trump after his controversial remarks about NATO and Afghanistan. Starmer called Trump’s comments “insulting and frankly appalling”, arguing they undermine the sacrifices of British veterans and the long-standing value of NATO allies. This confrontation stems from Trump’s recent Fox News interview, where he minimized NATO’s role and questioned the extent of Allied involvement in Afghanistan. Starmer’s response was strong and clear, he expects a formal apology and is standing firmly behind the British Armed Forces and NATO partners. WATCH
