OSLO, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Saturday denied U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that non-American NATO troops were not involved in the fighting in Afghanistan.
“It is intolerable that the American president questions the efforts of allied soldiers in Afghanistan,” M. Frederiksen said on Instagram.
She stressed that Denmark suffered one of the highest per capita losses among NATO countries.
On January 22, Trump stated on Fox Business that the United States never needed soldiers from other countries. "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or somewhere else. And they did. They stayed a little bit behind, a little bit away from the front lines," Trump said.
The US President's statements sparked widespread outrage. On January 23, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Trump should apologize for his false statement, calling it "offensive" and "outrageous."
According to Danish media, Danish veterans will march from the Kastellet fortress in Copenhagen to the US Embassy to express their dissatisfaction with D. Trump's statements. –0–
