Trump urges NATO to shoot down Russian jets that enter their airspace, he announced Tuesday during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The two leaders met in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly.
A reporter asked Trump, “Should NATO shoot down Russian planes that enter their airspace?” He answered right after criticizing the UN. Trump said the United Nations is not fixing problems. Instead, it is creating new ones. He called migration the biggest issue today. He said uncontrolled migration is ruining many countries.
Moreover, Trump accused the UN of funding efforts that harm Western countries. “The U.N. is supporting people illegally coming into the United States,” he said. “They provide food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal immigrants.”
In addition, Trump noted the migration problem is spreading to Europe. He called the current approach politically correct but ineffective. “Your countries are going to hell,” Trump warned.
Meanwhile, Trump praised the U.S. for taking “bold action” to stop uncontrolled migration. “Once we started detaining and deporting everyone crossing the border, they stopped coming,” he said. Trump also thanked El Salvador for “receiving and jailing criminals” who tried to enter the U.S.
Throughout his remarks, Trump urged stronger policies. He promised “the hand of American leadership and friendship” to all UN member nations but criticized the organization’s failure to act effectively. Trump urges NATO to shoot down Russian jets to protect allied airspace. His comments underscored rising tensions amid the conflict in Ukraine.
At the same time, he emphasized the need for borders to be secured worldwide. Trump said the United Nations often creates new challenges for countries to solve rather than fixing existing problems.
The ongoing war in Ukraine and the migration crisis remain top priorities for many global leaders. Trump’s direct call to NATO reflects his aggressive stance on defense and sovereignty. As world leaders gathered in New York, Trump’s statements sent a clear message: he expects decisive action both on the battlefield and at the border.
