US President Donald Trump has responded to the incident involving European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's plane, which made an emergency landing in Bulgaria after Russia jammed its GPS signal.
"Well, she had an interesting event. She is a tremendous woman," Trump said.
He noted that "nobody knows" why the GPS on the European Commission President's plane stopped working.
"But they did take away her ability to use a phone. Sometimes it's a good thing," Trump said, adding that if that ever happened to him, he would be happy.
Incident with Ursula von der Leyen’s plane
On September 1, the plane of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made an emergency landing in Bulgaria.
The reason was Russian interference, which disrupted the aircraft’s GPS system. The pilot was forced to land using paper maps.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted that Russia was not involved in the incident.
