英国首相办公室批评美国国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯关于北约盟国在阿富汗军事贡献的言论存在错误。赫格塞斯在周六的演讲中声称,虽然50个国家派驻了旗帜部队,但只有5个国家真正作出贡献,最终仅有1至2个国家参与实际作战行动1。
英国官方发言人予以驳斥,指出457名英国人员在阿富汗阵亡,超过30个国家的人员在这场战争中牺牲1。美国死亡人数约2500人,占总死亡人数的三分之二1。英国首相基尔·斯塔默曾在1月批评特朗普关于北约军队在阿富汗作战的言论"令人不快"1。英国官方表示对乌克兰的支持立场"坚定不移",与特朗普政府寻求接近俄罗斯的态度存在分歧1。
Britain's Prime Minister's office has rejected assertions by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding NATO allies' military engagement in Afghanistan.1 Hegseth claimed in a Saturday speech that while 50 countries contributed flags to the mission, only five made genuine contributions, with just one or two nations actually participating in combat operations.1
The British government countered these characterizations by highlighting the substantial sacrifices made by coalition forces.1 A spokesman noted that 457 British personnel died in Afghanistan, and personnel from more than 30 countries lost their lives in the conflict.1 The United States accounted for approximately 2,500 deaths—roughly two-thirds of total coalition casualties.1
This disagreement reflects broader tensions between London and the Trump administration.1 Prime Minister Keir Starmer had previously criticized Trump's "unpleasant" remarks about NATO troops' combat involvement in Afghanistan in January.1 The British government has also reaffirmed its "unwavering" support for Ukraine, signaling a departure from the Trump administration's approach toward Russia.1
