Mother's 'disgust' over Trump's Nato remarks
The mother of a soldier who died while attempting to rescue American troops in Afghanistan said Donald Trump's recent comments over Nato caused "disbelief, disgust and sorrow".
Rifleman Cyrus Thatcher, from Caversham, Berkshire, was 19 when he died on 2 June 2009 after an explosion while he was on patrol near Gereshk in Helmand province.
Trump claimed while Nato countries sent "some troops" to fight in Afghanistan from 2001, they "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines" but has since praised British troops after being widely criticised.
Thatcher's mother, Helena Tym, said his claim was "another kick in the stomach" following years of grief.
