- Trump on Friday had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in “the appropriate regions” in response to remarks from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev about the risk of war
MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Monday that everyone should be careful about nuclear rhetoric, in its first response to a statement by US President Donald Trump that he had ordered a repositioning of US nuclear submarines.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov played down the significance of Trump’s comments, saying it was clear that US submarines were already on combat duty anyway. He said Moscow had no desire to get into a polemic with Trump on the issue.
Trump said on Friday he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in “the appropriate regions” in response to remarks from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev about the risk of war between the nuclear-armed adversaries.
