President Trump said that NATO soldiers stayed “a little off the front lines” during the conflict. In Britain, which lost 457 soldiers in the war, the response was swift.
Care minister Stephen Kinnock called Trump's comments 'deeply disappointing' and 'plainly wrong', highlighting that NATO's Article 5 was invoked to support the US after 9/11, leading to many British and European casualties.
