European veterans, families of the fallen, and politicians are voicing outrage over Trump's claim NATO allies stayed behind the front lines in Afghanistan.

The Duke of Sussex challenges President Trump's claims about NATO allies in Afghanistan, citing Article 5 response and 457 UK military deaths in a powerful statement.

The president also suggested the U.S. should have “put NATO to the test” to advance his domestic agenda.

Prince Harry criticized Trump for downplaying NATO allies’ role in Afghanistan, citing shared sacrifice and the war’s human cost.

LONDON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called U.S. ‌President ​Donald Trump's comments about European troops staying off the ‌front lines in Afghanistan insulting and appalling, joining a chorus of criticism from other European officials and veterans.

“If I had misspoken in that way, or said those words, I would certainly apologize,” said Starmer.

Sir Rod Stewart once counted himself a friend of President Donald J. Trump, but that is being pushed even further back into the past now that the pop superstar has slammed him as a “draft dodger” in a video statement condemning the president’s disparaging remarks about the courage of NATO troops.
