  • Trump says he ordered 2 nuclear submarines moved based on Medvedev's comments

US President Donald Trump has ordered two nuclear-powered submarines to be positioned in what he called "the appropriate regions," citing comments by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as the reason.

Trump wrote on social media on Friday that he made the order based on "the highly provocative statements" of Medvedev, who is now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council. The US president has not specified where exactly the two ships will be deployed or which of Medvedev's comments he considered provocative.
