Investing.com -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said NATO countries should keep "all options" open if Russia violates their airspace again, including shooting down Russian jets.
"NATO countries defend themselves," Carney said in an interview with Bloomberg’s Mishal Husain. "Certainly, we will do what’s necessary in order to protect those countries."
Carney’s comments came before US President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday. Trump said the two leaders agreed to hold a second in-person meeting in Budapest. Trump is also scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at the White House on Friday.
European diplomats previously warned the Kremlin that NATO was ready to respond to further Russian airspace violations with full force, including by downing Russian planes, according to a September 25 report. This warning followed an incident where three MiG-31 fighter jets flew over Estonia and drones appeared over Poland.
Carney, 60, characterized Russia’s use of jets and drones over European NATO members as a sign of weakness by Putin rather than strength.
