Prime Minister reacts to comments from Donald Trump about NATO allies in Afghanistan

Sir Keir Starmer calls Trump's remarks 'insulting and frankly appalling'.

Sir Keir Starmer says President Trump's comments that NATO troops stayed 'a little off' the front lines in Afghanistan are 'insulting, and frankly appalling'. The US President told Fox News last night that he wasn't sure if NATO would be there for his country if required, and that America had 'never needed' its help. Also: Russia, Ukraine and the United States are holding their first tri-lateral talks, since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago. And, the pop star Robbie Williams has surpassed The Beatles to become the artist with the most number one albums in UK chart history.
