The US president has responded to alleged airspace violation over bloc member Estonia

US President Donald Trump has replied affirmatively when asked if NATO states should shoot down Russian aircraft that breach their airspace.

The US president was asked the question at a joint press conference alongside Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky on Tuesday.

"Yes, I do," Trump replied.

Estonia, a Baltic member of the US-led military bloc, last week claimed that three Russian MIG-31 jets breached its airspace. Moscow has denied the claims, saying that the planes did not deviate from their routine flight path, and arguing that NATO lacked evidence.
