Donald Trump orders nuclear submarines moved after Russian ‘provocative’ comments • FRANCE 24

These are Ohio class guided missile submarines transiting the Mediterranean. America’s most powerful underwater weapons and according to the US president, they could be back on the move. Donald Trump says he has deployed two nuclear submarines to be positioned in what he calls appropriate regions. A response to comments made by former Russian President Dmitri Medvid. First making the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump blamed the order on foolish and inflammatory statements by Medvid, now the deputy chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council. Earlier this week, he threatened the US in response to Trump’s ultimatum that Moscow agrees to a ceasefire in Ukraine or faces tough sanctions. [Music] The US president doubled down on his order Friday evening before reporters. Oh yeah. Well, we had to do that. We just have to be careful. A threat was made by a former president of Russia, and we’re going to protect our people. President Trump did not say whether he was referring to nuclearpowered or nuclear armed submarines, but it’s the first time he has referenced the American nuclear arsenal since relations soured with Russia. And what did Mcbett say to you that made you really mad? Well, you just have to read what he said. He was talking about nuclear. When you talk about nuclear, we have to be prepared. Russia and the US possess the most nuclear arms in the world. Trump in the past touted good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but now expresses mounting frustration, describing Moscow’s latest attacks on Ukraine as disgusting. The Kremlin so far has made no comment on the order.

US President Donald Trump on Friday (August 1) announced that he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in “the appropriate regions”, responding to what he called “foolish and inflammatory” statements from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.

  1. I thought Trump is smart guy, just hear noise from backyard suddenly run inside house rock himself.

  4. I'm just curious. What do Americans and Europeans expect from 2 submarines. Do you really think Putin will get scared and ask Trump for mercy?

  5. on what kind of script is he on , first he tells a sovereign nations leader to guard his mouth then surrounds said nation with nuclear bombs? the man is not a conservative but a paid per views globalist buffoon

  15. This is a useless side issue both countries always have their submarines located near each other.Trump should just release the Epstein files.

  19. Non-sensical theatrics. These subs are always "deployed" when not in dock for R&M cycles. Much news about nothing at all.

  21. During the Cuban crisis, the US didn't admit they moved their missiles from Turkey and Italy before the USSR moved their missiles from Cuba.

  23. Trump deployed two nuclear submarines near Russia, and I believe it’s a deliberate move to distract from domestic controversies. The Epstein files are proving hard to bury, so he keeps raising the stakes every day.

  28. Where is the Russian provocation that deserves the entry of nuclear submarines into the line? Mr. President, are you worried about those being killed in Ukraine? You are killing more than them in Gaza and in the most horrific and forbidden ways. Come to your senses and stop being careless. Whoever fears Russia should know that Russia can destroy planet Earth three times with nuclear weapons. But Russia is not looking for war. Who wants war and who wants the Nobel Peace Prize?

  29. someone should tell putin! As he wont know these submarines are there, and preparing for a nuclear strike on moscow, unless donald recieves an apology on tic tok.
