Donald Trump was "wrong to diminish the role of troops, including British forces" in Afghanistan, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister's official spokesperson told political lobby journalists: "Trump was wrong in diminishing sacrifice as part of NATO in Afghanistan."
"The president was wrong to diminish the role of troops, including British forces".
"457 British personnel were killed in Afghanistan, more wounded. Many suffered life changing injuries, their sacrifice and others were made in service of security and in response to an attack on an ally," they said.
The spokesperson said Sir Keir Starmer was very proud of service personnel and their sacrifice.
Downing Street refused to say whether the prime minister would seek an apology from Trump, or whether the two would speak about the comments.

Rage bait
That they were
I love Trump and I support him one hundred percent but sometimes he really needs mouth filter. He crossed the line here. And I would tell him that with my Queens, NY accent and attitude. He does need to apologize.
Britain was still Britain in 2001.
Literally every single person I know who voted for Trump all say the same thing - "I like a most of what he does but I just wish he'd keep his mouth shut sometimes."
Obviously, we'd rather have a president who says the wrong things but does the right things, as opposed to the opposite.
Trump is 1/3 Reagan and 2/3 Patton.
Sometimes I wish those fractions were reversed. This is one of those times.
Europe should be a helluvalot more upset and outraged at the mean things their “refugee” friends say about them and DO to them.
But keep blubbering about that mean ol’ Trump.
Y’all had your choice of retreads: Trump …or Kamala.
Yeah, I love Trump but this was something he should not have said, but Trump is Trump. USA did carry the load in that war as they usually do, but we should not diminish those that pitched in no matter how large or small.
And I am sticking with Trump!
Hey at least with Trump, you never know what’s coming next. I wake up every morning to check the news and think to myself, “what will PT Barnum Trump do next?”
Insensitive omg - another pearl clutcher.
Nut up man.
Who cares what they think.
We’ve been carrying their useless carcasses since 1916.
They haven’t done anything with all of help over the last 110 years but
turn the cradle of western civilization over to a bunch of 3rd world disgusting
cultural degenerates.
Insensitive - lmao.
And now the Uk is Islam. Why doesn’t their brave and mighty military work on that?
Like clockwork you post the nit picking nonsense of the day.
Such great news of the American resurgence everyday and you choose to cluck about anything you can. You should be thrilled at the closed border, the deportation of horrible criminals, the surging growth in our economy, the taming of inflation, the booming markets, the successful tariff reset, peacemaking, the bright future that is unfolding for the US.
A thousand great things to post about and there you go again. One of the great black pillers on FR. Stupid, bordering on evil, living to divide is an awful way to live. Have at it.
Starmer should STFU. He hates his own people and his phony pearl clutching will last as long as he turns his troops against the English people.
Just emulating his moniker namesake.
Oh, bew hew, Sky News and Lil Randy.
Here’s a hanky.
Losers posing as libertarians.
