Trump Orders 2 Nuclear Submarines To Move In The Aftermath Of Ex-Russian President's Provocation

JAKARTA - United States (US) President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to be moved to "proper areas" in response to threats from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

"Based on a very provocative statement from the former Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, who now serves as Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two nuclear Submarines to be placed in the right territory, in case this stupid and provocative statement is more than just that," Trump wrote on Truth Social. reported by ABC News, Saturday, August 2.

"Women are very important, and often can cause unwanted consequences, I hope this won't be one example," he continued.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth re-uploaded Trump's statement on X.

Medvedev recently voiced his opinion on social media about Trump's deadline for Russia to reach a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine or face severe sanctions.

"Trump is playing an ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10 days. He has to remember 2 things: 1. Russia is not Israel or even Iran. 2. Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't get caught up in a situation like Sleepy Joe!" Medvedev wrote on X earlier this week.

Trump previously said he would impose new sanctions on Moscow and countries that buy its energy exports. The biggest ones are China and India unless Russia acts before August 8 to end the war that has been going on for 3.5 years.

Trumph expressed his growing frustration against Putin, accusing him of being "empty" and calling Russia's latest attack on Ukraine "disgraceful".
