周六，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普赞扬了与美国并肩在阿富汗服役的英国士兵，澄清了他此前对北约盟友的批评。
特朗普早些时候曾批评在阿富汗服役的北约部队，称他们在冲突期间“稍微退后”，远离前线。然而，他的言论在英国遭到了愤怒回应，英国首相基尔·斯塔默称其“具有侮辱性，坦率地说，令人震惊”。
特朗普在Truth Social上写道：“英国的伟大且非常勇敢的士兵将永远与美利坚合众国同在！在阿富汗，有457人牺牲，许多人严重受伤，他们是所有战士中最伟大的一批。”
“这种纽带太牢固，永远不会断裂。英国军队（The [U.K. Military]）怀着巨大的心血和灵魂，无与伦比（除了美国！）。我们爱你们所有人，并且永远会爱你们！”他继续说道。
特朗普对英国访问的重要性不应被低估

这条社交媒体帖子部分收回了他此前在福克斯商业频道采访中对北约的批评。
“我们从未真正向他们要求过什么，”他说，“你知道，他们会说他们派了一些部队到阿富汗或者其他地方，他们确实这么做了。但他们稍微退后了一点，远离前线。”
斯塔默的办公室表示，首相在本周末的电话中向特朗普提出了这个问题。

“首相提到了在阿富汗并肩作战的勇敢英雄的英国和美国士兵，其中许多人再也没有回家，”一位发言人说，“我们永远不能忘记他们的牺牲。”

特朗普最初的言论也遭到了曾在阿富汗服役两次的哈里王子的直接谴责。

“我在那里服役过。我在那里交到了一生的朋友，也在那里失去了朋友，”哈里说。
“这些牺牲值得被真实且带着敬意地提及，因为我们都依然团结并忠诚于维护外交与和平，”他补充道。

Trump praises ‘great and very brave’ UK soldiers who served in Afghanistan war | Fox News

President Donald Trump praised the soldiers of the United Kingdom who served alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan on Saturday, clarifying his previous criticism of NATO allies.
Trump had earlier criticized NATO troops who served in Afghanistan, arguing they had stayed “a little bit back” from the frontlines during the conflict. His statement was met with outrage in the U.K., however, where Prime Minister Kier Starmer called it “insulting and frankly, appalling.”
“The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America! In Afghanistan, 457 died, many were badly injured, and they were among the greatest of all warriors,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It’s a bond too strong to ever be broken. The [U.K. Military], with tremendous Heart and Soul, is second to none (except for the U.S.A.!). We love you all, and always will!” he continued.

The social media post partially walks back his previous criticism of NATO, made during an interview on Fox Business.
“We have never really asked anything of them,” he said. “You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that, and they did. They stayed a little back, little off the front lines.”
Starmer’s office says the prime minister raised the issue with Trump during a phone call this weekend.

“The Prime Minister raised the brave and heroic British and American soldiers who fought side by side in Afghanistan, many of whom never returned home,” a spokesperson said. “We must never forget their sacrifice.”

“I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there,” Harry said.
“Those sacrifices deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect, as we all remain united and loyal to the defense of diplomacy and peace,” he added.
