Frustration with Putin evident in Trump's post
Trump's Truth Social post on Poland was very short - but clearly indicative of mounting frustrations with Russia and President Vladimir Putin.
Just a few short weeks ago - after months of unease over Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities - Trump and the White House celebrated what they saw as something of a foreign policy "win" when he met with Putin in Alaska.
But subsequent peace meetings between Trump, Putin and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky have failed to materialise, and the war seems no closer to ending than it did before the Alaska meeting.
Earlier this week - before the drone incursions - Trump, not for the first time, threatened tougher measures against Russia and said he was prepared to move on to a "second phase" of sanctions.
Many around the world will now be watching to see whether the incursion into Poland prompts those long-awaited secondary sanctions.
