The President of the USA, Donald Trump, praised the British troops on social media, highlighting their sacrifices in Afghanistan, after he sparked outrage with comments that downplayed the contribution of NATO forces. Trump stated that British soldiers are "great and brave" and that the bond between the USA and the United Kingdom is indestructible. His previous comments, which irritated NATO allies, were criticized by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Prince Harry, a veteran of the Afghanistan war. Starmer discussed with Trump the importance of the soldiers' sacrifices, and the White House supported Trump's position, stating that the USA has contributed more to NATO than any other country. Other nations, including Italy, disapproved of Trump's comments, emphasizing the need for respect within the alliance. Although Trump praised the British troops, he did not mention other NATO countries that have suffered losses in the conflict.
