President Trump has ordered the deployment of two American nuclear submarines in response to “foolish and inflammatory” threats from a former president of Russia.
The US president accused Dmitry Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, of making “highly provocative statements”.
“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 posted on Truth Social. “Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.”
