'We stood by the US!' Veterans Minister hits out at Donald Trump’s words on Afghanistan: 'That cut deep!'
Armed Forces minister Al Carns has said that Donald Trump's words "cut deep" as he paid tribute to those who lost loved ones in Afghanistan.
Veterans, their families, and MPs across the political spectrum have expressed outrage after the US president claimed NATO forces remained “a little off the frontlines” during the Afghanistan conflict.
In a Fox News interview from Davos, Donald Trump doubled down on his criticism, questioning whether the military alliance would ever “be there if we needed them.”
He went on to say: “We’ve never needed them. Sure, they sent some troops to Afghanistan… but they stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines.”
