Trump Redeploys Nuclear Subs After Medvedev Remarks

US President Donald Trump has ordered the redeployment of two nuclear submarines to unspecified 'appropriate regions' in response to provocative remarks by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council. Trump framed the move as necessary for ensuring American safety and cited Medvedev’s comments as a potential step toward war. Senior Russian lawmaker Viktor Vodolatsky downplayed the deployment, stating Russian nuclear submarines already outnumber American ones and that US subs are under Russian surveillance. Some Russian experts expressed surprise at the lack of prior US military coordination. The announcement contributed to a nearly 1% drop in the Moscow Exchange index. There are renewed calls on both sides for a US-Russia agreement to prevent further escalation.
