Downing Street has said US defence secretary Pete Hegseth was wrong to suggest most non-American Nato troops in Afghanistan did very little fighting. In a speech at the University of Tennessee, Hegseth claimed only one or two countries were involved in combat by the end. The prime minister's spokesperson said more than 450 British personnel never returned and it was wrong to diminish their role.
