Donald Trump says he has ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned within the “appropriate regions” in a row with former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.
It comes after Mr Medvedev, who’s now deputy chairman of Russia’s Safety Council, informed the US president on Thursday to do not forget that Moscow had Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities of final resort.
On Friday, Mr Trump wrote on social media: “Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, 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.
“Phrases are crucial, and may usually result in unintended penalties, I hope this won’t be a type of situations. Thanks in your consideration to this matter!”
