US President Donald Trump on Friday said he has ordered the positioning of nuclear submarines near Russia.
The decision was taken based on the “highly provocative statements” of the former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Trump said in a post on social media.
“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,” he said.
“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances,” Trump added.
