Trump on Russia: Ordered 2 nuclear submarines to be 'positioned in the appropriate regions'

President Donald Trump on Friday said that he ordered two nuclear submarines “to be positioned in the appropriate regions” in response to warnings made to the United States by top Russian official Dmitry Medvedev earlier this week.

“Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences. I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Medvedev, in a post on X on Monday, wrote, “Trump’s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things.”

“1. Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war,” Medvedev wrote.

“Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!” Medvedev added, referring to former President Joe Biden.
