Donald Trump has revealed that a pair of US nuclear submarines 'are closer to Russia' after he deployed them in response to an escalating war of words with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
The move of the nuclear submarines to 'appropriate regions', which the US President described as a 'terrible situation', appeared to be symbolic – the U.S. already has a fleet of dozens of nuclear-powered subs that are constantly ready to strike in the event of a conflict.
Trump originally did not say where the submarines were deployed but tensions notched up another level as he admitted they were getting closer to Russia.
'They are closer to Russia yeah, it's a terrible situation,' he told Newsmax.
It increases the tension once again after Trump announced he was moving up his ultimatum for Russia to agree to end the war with Ukraine.
