In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev… 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. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences. I hope this will not be one of those instances.”
Medvedev had earlier warned Trump to “remember” that Moscow retained Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities.
