In a warning to Russia, President Donald Trump said Friday he’s ordering the repositioning of two US nuclear submarines \u201cbased on the highly provocative statements\u201d of the country’s former president, Dmitry Medvedev, who has raised the prospect of war online.<\/p>\n
Trump posted on his social media site that, based on the \u201chighly provocative statements\u201d from Medvedev, he had \u201cordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president added, \u201cWords are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances\u201d, The Associated Press said.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t clear what impact Trump\u2019s order would have on US nuclear subs, which are routinely on patrol in the world\u2019s hotspots, but it comes at a delicate moment in the Trump administration’s relations with Moscow.<\/p>\n
Trump said later Friday that he was alarmed by Medvedev’s attitude.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’s got a fresh mouth,\u201d Trump said in an interview with Newsmax.<\/p>\n
Trump has said that special envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Russia to push Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in its war with Ukraine and has threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made. He cut his 50-day deadline for action to 10 days, with that window set to expire next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
