Trump offers ambiguous initial response to Russian drone incursion into Poland’s airspace
September 10, 2025
President Donald Trump has offered an ambiguous initial response to Russia’s drone incursion into Poland’s airspace. Trump wrote on social media Wednesday: “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” Russian drones earlier Wednesday entered Poland’s territory over the course of many hours and were shot down with help from NATO allies. It was a provocative act by Moscow that put the United States’ NATO allies in Europe on edge. Trump’s reaction was notably less robust than that of his ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker. It also stood in contrast to the strong condemnation by several European leaders.
