Norge mistet også soldater i Afghanistan, 9 menn og en kvinne, så UK var vel ikke de eneste som reagerte på USAs anmodning om støtte. Danmarks tap har jo vært i media i det siste grunnet Grønland. De vil definitivt reagere på samme måte som UK på denne grove løgnen. (Red.)
Trump gjør det igjen i intervju med FOX News i går:
What did Trump say?
The US is the only country to have invoked Article 5 of Nato, which states that "an armed attack against one Nato member shall be considered an attack against them all".
Speaking to Fox News last night, US President Donald Trump said he was "not sure" the military alliance would be there for the US "if we ever needed them".
"We've never needed them," he said, adding: "We have never really asked anything of them."
"They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan," he said, "and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines".
Health and Social Care Minister Stephen Kinnock has suggested UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer would speak to Trump abut the remarks.
"He's incredibly proud of our armed forces, and he will make that clear to the president," he told LBC.
Trump's claim Nato troops avoided Afghanistan front line sparks outrage in UK
Donald Trump's claim that Nato troops stayed "a little off the front lines" during the war in Afghanistan has provoked anger among UK politicians and veterans' families.
Speaking to Fox News on Thursday, the US president said he was "not sure" the military alliance would be there for the US "if we ever needed them".
"They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan," he said, "and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines".
Health and Social Care Minister Stephen Kinnock calls the comments "disappointing" and "wrong", while Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch labels them "flat-out nonsense".
The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, after it invoked Nato's collective security clause following the 9/11 terror attacks. Four-hundred and fifty-seven British service personnel were killed in the conflict.
