00:00It's complete nonsense. It is complete nonsense. I spoke to parents of young men who had lost their
00:05lives in Afghanistan, and I think it is a disgrace to denigrate their memory like that.
00:11Every November, we celebrate our fallen. It's not just World War I or World War II. It is more
00:17recent conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan. And I think that there is too much careless talk
00:22from President Trump. He clearly doesn't know the history of what happened. I'm somebody who
00:27believes in NATO. It is a force for good in the world. We need a strong NATO. We mustn't have
00:34these sorts of throwaway remarks that actually weaken the strong relationship between those
00:39countries in the alliance. Should President Trump apologize? Should the PM ask for an apology?
00:43I think the PM should ask for an apology, and the PM should ask for a retraction or a clarification
00:48of those remarks.
