Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump says that he has ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines in response to “highly provocative” comments by a senior Russian official.
“Based on the highly provocative statements of the former president of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev… 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,” Trump posts on his Truth Social platform.
