JD Vance's 'random country' insult sparks UK backlash

News summary

US Vice President JD Vance faced significant backlash after he dismissed a proposed UK-led peacekeeping force in Ukraine, referring to it as '20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.' His comments were perceived as an insult to the UK's military contributions in Iraq and Afghanistan, where over 600 British troops lost their lives. British politicians, including Shadow Defense Secretary James Cartlidge, condemned Vance's remarks as deeply disrespectful, emphasizing the historical partnership between US and UK forces. Vance defended his statement by claiming he was not specifically referring to the UK or France, but rather to countries lacking battlefield experience. The controversy emerged amid ongoing discussions about the US's role in Ukraine and a recent pause in military aid from the Trump administration. Critics argue that Vance's comments undermine the sacrifices made by British troops alongside American forces.
