Trump Orders Nuclear Submarine Deployment Amid Medvedev's Threats

Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced he ordered two nuclear submarines to deploy to "appropriate areas" in response to threats made by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

According to a post by Trump, this move was made "in case Medvedev's foolish and inflammatory statements imply something more." Medvedev had stated that any ultimatum from Trump regarding the war in Ukraine is "a threat and a step towards war with the United States," implying potential nuclear strikes.

Trump had given Russia a ten-day deadline for a ceasefire in Ukraine, threatening tariffs against Moscow and countries buying Russian oil.
