Trump reveals sending nuclear submarines near Russia after Medvedev threat

United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that he ordered the displacement of two nuclear submarines to areas near Russia. The decision, he said, was taken in response to recent statements by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, classified as threatening.

“I ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, only for these foolish and inflammatory statements to be more than just that,” Trump wrote in a publication on the Truth Social network.

The positioning of the submarines was not detailed by the US President, nor the exact places where the equipment was sent were revealed. The initiative marks a new point of tension in relations between the United States and Russia, in a context already sensitive in the international geopolitical scenario.

Dmitry Medvedev, who held the presidency of Russia between 2008 and 2012 and currently part of the country’s Security Council, has made public statements in an aggressive tone on West -related topics, including Ukraine War issues and the military presence of the United States and allies in Eastern Europe.

Trump’s response, with the sending of strategic weaponry to regions near the Russian territory, signals a possible increase in the degree of military alert and adds new elements to the already delicate relationship between the two powers.

To date, the Russian government has not issued an official response to the statement made by the president of the United States. There is also no confirmation from the US Department of Defense on the movement of the Naval Units mentioned by Trump.

The declaration occurs at a time when US foreign policy undergoes strategic redefinitions, with the president by adopting a more direct posture on international security topics. The decision to make public sending submarines may have an impact on diplomatic negotiations and defense movements in the Baltic and Black Sea region.

International analysts accompany the unfolding of the situation with caution. The presence of nuclear submarines in areas of proximity to Russia represents a potential climbing factor, especially if there is a military or political response by Kremlin.

The movement will be monitored by NATO allies and can generate reactions from European countries that share borders with Russia. Tension between the United States and Russia, intensified since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, now gains a new chapter with the direct participation of high capacity strategic weaponry.
