In a U-turn, US President Donald Trump has praised British troops serving in Afghanistan, reversing his earlier statement that criticized their decision to stay behind the front lines. The about-face came after UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace criticized Trump’s remarks, calling them “unfortunate and unnecessary.” Trump now says that British soldiers are “great and brave” and will always stand by the United States. He also acknowledged that the 457 British troops who were killed in Afghanistan were “great warriors” who suffered severe injuries.
Trump’s comments came at a time when tensions are running high between the US and Iran. The US has vowed not to use its own soil for any military operations against Iran. Meanwhile, Israeli military officials said they have found the remains of an Israeli hostage in Gaza, marking the end of a hostage crisis that had been ongoing for several weeks.
