Trump says Nato countries should shoot down Russian aircraft entering their airspace
Looks like the Trump-Putin bromance is over. 
When asked by reporters whether Nato countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace, the president said “yes, I do”.
He later added that support for Nato allies would depend on the circumstance, but expressed his appreciation for the group’s purchase power in terms of weapons being sent to Ukraine.
“Nato stepped up, you know, when they went from 2% to 5%. That was great unity,” Trump said. “It’s a lot of weapons they’re buying, and they’re buying them from us. They’re buying them from the US.”
