The former Russian president, infamous for his late-night rants as war ravages Ukraine, is locked in a dispute with the US leader.
Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s former president and prime minister, is back in the limelight.
Last week, United States President Donald Trump warned him to “watch his words” and ordered a repositioning of two US nuclear submarines in response to Medvedev’s online threats.
The repositioning closer to Russia followed “highly provocative statements” from Medvedev, who serves as deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, Trump wrote on his Truth Social network on August 1.
“I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump wrote, without specifying the regions or the submarines’ class.
