Rod Stewart called on President Donald Trump to apologize for his disparaging remarks about NATO troops, exhorting British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage to also put pressure on the "draft dodger."
Stewart addressed his ex-friend in a recent Instagram video, which you can see below.
"Hi there. I may just be a humble rock star. I'm also a knight of the realm, and I have my opinions," Stewart said. "I was born just after the war [World War II], and I have great respect for our armed forces that fought and gave us our freedom. So it hurts me badly, deeply, when I read that the draft dodger Trump has criticized our troops in Afghanistan for not being on the front line.
"We lost over 400 of our guys," Stewart continued. "Think of their parents. Think about it. And Trump calls them almost like cowards. It's unbearable. So I'm calling on you, Prime Minister Starmer and Farage, please make the draft dodger Trump apologize. Please. Thank you."
