Trump says UK soldiers in Afghanistan ‘among greatest of all’ after anger over Nato remarks

President Donald Trump has lauded British soldiers serving in Afghanistan, describing them as “among the greatest of all.” This statement comes in the wake of his controversial remarks suggesting that allied forces in the conflict did not engage on the front lines. Trump’s praise for the UK troops appears to be an effort to quell anger and criticism stemming from his earlier comments, which were perceived as disrespectful to the sacrifices made by NATO allies. The president’s latest remarks aim to underscore his admiration for the military contributions of the United Kingdom in the long-running conflict.
