Trump announced the relocation of nuclear submarines due to Medvedev's statements

  • Trump announced the relocation of nuclear submarines of the USA in response to Medvedev's statements.
  • Medvedev responded to Trump's ultimatums, emphasizing the threat of war.
  • Relations between the USA and Russia remain strained.

President of the USA Donald Trump announced the relocation of two nuclear submarines of the USA in response to the statement of former President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, who expressed the possibility of war. Trump noted that his decision was prompted by "extremely provocative" comments from Medvedev.

Trump wrote on his social media that the two submarines will be stationed in response regions, which he described as "danger zones" that could lead to serious consequences. He emphasized that words can have serious consequences, and hopes that this does not become one of those incidents.

It is unclear how exactly this decision affects the nuclear submarines of the USA, which usually patrol important points around the world. This decision was announced at a critical time for relations between Washington and Moscow. Trump also reported that his special envoy Steve Vitkoff is heading to Russia to push Moscow towards a peace agreement in Ukraine.

Medvedev, who previously served as President of Russia, responded to Trump's statement, asserting that Russia "has always acted in its own interests." He also noted that Trump is playing a game with ultimatums, and each new ultimatum is a threat that can lead to war not only with Ukraine but also with its own country.

Trump, responding to journalists' questions, emphasized that his actions are aimed at protecting the American people. He stated that when it comes to nuclear threats, it is important to be prepared.

Medvedev, who held the presidency from 2008 to 2012, is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia. His rhetoric has become more provocative since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022, during which his predecessor's actions were more liberal.
