Trump Says NATO Should Shoot Down Jets That Breach NATO Airspace
During a busy day at the UN Tuesday where he at one point voiced a dramatic shift in perspective on Ukraine, taking to Truth Social to say he believes Ukrainian forces can take back the whole of the east, President Trump also stated that NATO should shoot down any Russian aircraft that violates NATO airspace.
The very bold bold remark, which flirts with a WW3-style confrontation with Russia, comes after several alleged Russian airspace violations of NATO eastern flank members' airspace, namely Poland, Romania, and Estonia - earlier this month.
Trump made the comment during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. He was asked whether NATO should engage Russian aircraft that enter its airspace, to which Trump simply replied, "Yes, I do."
