Trump criticized the ex-president of the Russian Federation and the head of the Security Council of the Russian aggressor country Dmitry Medvedev for his nuclear threats. He added that the politician has a “defiant speech” and that he “should not have said this.”
“The former president of Russia, who is now led by one of the most important tips – Medvedev, said very bad things, speaking of nuclear weapons. And when you hear the word“ nuclear ”, my eyes light up, and I think:“ You need to be more careful, ”because this is an extreme threat,” Trump emphasized.
The head of the White House noted that in response to these threats, he “sent two atomic submarines to the region,” because he wants to make sure that Medvedev’s statement is “only words and nothing more”.
To clarify the journalist whether the submarines are really closer to Russia, the American leader replied: “Yes, they are closer to Russia.”
