00:00Let me start by paying tribute to the 457 of our armed services who lost their lives
00:07in Afghanistan. I will never forget their courage, their bravery, and the sacrifice
00:14that they made for their country. There are many also who were injured, some with life-changing
00:21injuries. And so I consider President Trump's remarks to be insulting and frankly appalling.
00:29And I'm not surprised they've caused such hurt to the loved ones of those who were killed
00:35or injured, and in fact, across the country. Well, I've made my position clear, and what
00:41I say to Diane is if I had misspoken in that way or said those words, I would certainly
00:47apologise, and I'd apologise to her. We have a very close relationship with the
00:54US, and that is important for our security, for our defence and our intelligence, and it's
01:00very important we maintain that relationship. But it is because of that relationship that
01:06we fought alongside the Americans for our values in Afghanistan. And it was in that context
01:13that people lost their lives or suffered terrible injuries. Fighting for freedom. Fighting with
01:20our allies for what we believe in.
