Trump leads deployment of 2 nuclear submarines to 'appropriate regions'
(MENAFN) President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he has directed the deployment of two US nuclear submarines to "appropriate regions" in response to escalating tensions with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
Trump made the announcement on social media, citing Medvedev’s provocative remarks as the reason for the move. He warned that words can have serious consequences and expressed hope that this situation does not escalate further.
As Trump left the White House for his weekend retreat in New Jersey, he told reporters that a threat from Medvedev prompted the decision, emphasizing the need to protect American citizens.
Earlier in the week, Medvedev warned that Trump’s increasing pressure on Russia over the Ukraine conflict could spark a wider war involving the US. On social media, Medvedev cautioned Trump against escalating tensions and referenced Russia’s Cold War-era “Dead Hand” nuclear system, which remains active and is designed to launch automatic retaliation if the country’s leadership is incapacitated.
