Two nuclear submarines, which US President Donald Trump ordered to be deployed "in the appropriate region" after an exchange in absentia with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, arrived at the designated location. They are "already in the region, where they belong," Trump told reporters on Sunday evening, August 3, before flying to Washington from New Jersey.
However, he did not specify in which region the submarines are stationed and whether they are equipped with nuclear installations or nuclear weapons. The location of American nuclear submarines is highly classified information.
Trump's order to send two nuclear submarines "to the appropriate regions" became known on August 1. He explained this step by Dmitry Medvedev's "extremely provocative statements." The decision was made "in case these stupid and inflammatory statements turn out to be more than just words," Trump wrote on his Truth Social network, explaining that "words are very important" and "often lead to unforeseen consequences." "I hope it won't come to that this time," the US president added. dw.com.
