Politicians react as Trump claims Nato troops avoided front lines | BBC Question Time
Following a tense week for European nations over Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland, fresh outrage has been sparked as the US President claimed Nato troops avoided Afghanistan's front line.
Trump told Fox News on Thursday: "They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan... and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."
The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, and a total of 457 British service personnel were killed in the conflict.
Watch what the BBC Question Time panel said on the audience question: “Can we have a ’special relationship’ if Trump can’t be trusted?"
