U.S. President Donald Trump added that he plans to visit China early next year and host Chinese leader Xi Jinping in the United States "at an appropriate time."

Three Russian fighter jets entered Estonian airspace and remained there without permission for 12 minutes, the Estonian government has said. It is the third Russian incursion into Nato airspace in a fortnight after drones flew into both Poland and Romania, in moves condemned by the military alliance.

In an implicit rebuttal to Trump’s claim that the U.S. and Britain were geographically at a remove from the fighting and that the war “doesn’t affect” either country, Starmer noted that Russia in recent days has targeted the British Council in Kyiv as well as the European Union’s embassy there, as well as the drone incursions into NATO air space.

The fast-moving developments in Trump's near-back-to-back summits with the heads of Russia, Ukraine and European powers have highlighted a pair of repeated sticking points.

President Trump said he believes the more than three-year war in Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and placed tariffs on China for its purchases of Russian petroleum. The announcement came as Romania became the second NATO country to report a Russian drone incursion.
