"I do want to play something he just said to reporters as he was meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, said MSNBC anchor Katy Tur. Do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace? asked a reporter in the clip Tur rolled. Yes, I do, Trump replied. That was quick.

President Donald Trump said he would like NATO fighter jets to shoot down Russian aircraft that violate NATO member airspace. He replied "Yes, I do" when asked by a reporter while meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. NBC correspondent Vaughn Hillyard raised questions about whether the United States under this administration would be committed to defending allies if Article 5 were invoked. Romania, Poland, and Estonia have reported jets, drones, and Russian aircraft entering their airspace in recent weeks. An emergency UN Security Council meeting addressed those concerns. U.S. UN ambassador Michael Waltz suggested NATO would not give an inch to Russia. Copenhagen's main airport was closed after reports of multiple drones, with officials unable to immediately confirm their origin. The president suggested U.S. support for shooting down Russian aircraft that enter NATO airspace.
