US EditionTrump says NATO countries should shoot down Russian jets that violate airspace
Trump urges NATO allies to shoot down Russian aircraft violating airspace amid multiple recent incursions, citing rising tensions and security threats in Eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea region.
- During a UN General Assembly meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed that NATO members should consider downing Russian planes if they violate their airspace.
- Trump’s remarks came in response to a series of flights by Russian military aircraft and unmanned vehicles over Poland, Estonia, and additional NATO countries, which have intensified concerns about Europe’s capability to defend itself against Russian threats.
- The decision to shoot down aircraft on Tuesday should be guided by intelligence evaluating the threat, intent, armaments, and potential risks to allies and civilians, according to NATO’s top official.
- While Trump supported shoot-downs without promising U.S. participation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said NATO would intercept intruding jets but only shoot if attacked.
- These remarks came after NATO scrambled jets following Russian MiG-31 fighters’ unauthorized entry into Estonian airspace, highlighting escalating tensions and calls to strengthen European defenses.
