President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to be “positioned in the appropriate regions” in response to “provocative statements” from Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, he announced via Truth Social on Friday.
Trump said the move was made in case Medvedev’s recent “foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” he wrote on Truth Social Friday. Medvedev reminded Trump on Thursday that Russia has an automated, Soviet-era nuclear retaliation protocol if leadership were to be decapitated in response to a previous Truth Social post.
Russia has repeatedly invoked the threat of its nuclear arsenal as a response to demands for peace in its war with Ukraine.
The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
