Trump deploys nuclear submarines near Russia after Dimitry Medvedev's threats
President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of two United States nuclear submarines in response to what he termed a 'highly provocative statement' from Russia's former president, Dmitry Medvedev. Announcing the move in a social media post, President Trump stated, 'I have ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the appropriate region, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that'. This action represents a significant escalation in the standoff between the two nations and signals deeper US involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump's post highlighted the gravity of the situation, adding, 'words are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences. I hope this will not be one of those instances.' The deployment is a direct reaction to comments made by Medvedev, who is the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
