Keir Starmer has urged Donald Trump to apologise over his Nato remarks APKeir Starmer has urged Donald Trump to apologise over his “frankly appalling” remarks about Nato troops in Afghanistan. The US president insulted Nato allies this week by saying the defence alliance has never come to America’s aid. But the president later claimed that Nato troops had actually “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines” during the 20-year war. “But is it because of that relationship that we fought alongside the Americans for our values in Afghanistan. “The United States is the only Nato partner who can protect Greenland, and the president is advancing Nato interests in doing so.”
