Trump orders deployment of 2 nuclear submarines near Russia as tensions escalate between two superpowers
Trump had called India and Russia dead economies after imposing 25% tariff.
New Delhi: Amid rising tensions with Russia, US President Doland Trump has ordered deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia. He has also threatened it to face serious consequences. However, he did not say where the submarines will be deployed.
Why did Trump deploy nuclear submarines near Russia?
Trump informed about this decision on the social media site Truth Social. He blamed the provocative rhetoric of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for his decision.
During his visit to Scotland on July 28, Trump had announced that Russia has 10 to 12 days to end the Ukraine war. If Russia does not agree to negotiate for a ceasefire during this time, then ‘secondary tariffs’ will be imposed on countries trading with Russia.
What did Trump write on social media post?
Trump wrote on the social media site Truth Social, “Due to the provocative rhetoric of former Russian President and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia, so that provocative statements remain limited to rhetoric only. Words are very precious and sometimes inadvertently serious consequences can be suffered. I hope this will not be such a case.”
When Trump called it a dead economy, Russia reminded him of Dead Hand. Dead Hand was an old nuclear weapon control system of Russia that was capable of launching a retaliatory attack even if the country’s leadership was gone.
