The US president answered affirmatively on Sunday when asked by reporters if he would help to defend Poland and Baltic countries if Moscow intensifies their hostilities, according to AFP and The New York Times.
“Yes, I would do it. I would do it,” said Donald Trump, who made the statements before starting on the journey to Arizona, where he will participate in Charlie Kirk's funerals.
The UN Security Council meets on Monday at the request of Estonia, whose air space was violated by three MIG-31 Russian fighter jets on Friday. This is the first time the country is seeking an emergency session in the 34 years since she is a UN member.
After the incident on Friday, the Tallinn authorities also requested the organization of consultations based on Article 4 of the NATO Treaty of Washington, who establishes that the Allies will always consult one of them believes that the territory, political independence and security of one of them is threatened. The North Atlantic Council will meet on Tuesday, according to statements made by two officials for Reuters.
Asked on Sunday, if he was informed about the situation related to Estonia, Trump replied affirmative again, adding: “We don't like it.”
This month, Russia also violated the air spaces of Romania and Poland.
On September 13, in the area of Chilia Veche in the Delta, a Russian drone sailed for 50 minutes in the airspace of Romania, then leaving the country, under the monitoring of NATO military aircraft.
In Poland, the authorities claimed that the national airspace was violated by at least 19 Russian drones on the night of September 9 to 10. Both the air forces of the country and NATO were mobilized for their breaking.
“It could have been a mistake,” Trump said on the Polish air space on September 11th.
