United States President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be relocated in response to provocative remarks by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. Trump described Medvedev's statements as highly inflammatory and emphasized the importance of words in international relations, warning of unintended consequences. The exact type and location of the submarines were not disclosed, and it remains unclear what operational impact this move will have, as United States submarines regularly patrol global hotspots. The decision comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Russia, with ongoing disputes over the conflict in Ukraine and a series of heated exchanges between Trump and Medvedev on social media.
