Trump says US nuclear attack submarines are now 'closer to Russia' after he re-deployed them
Story by Adam Pogrund • 3h
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.
But tensions notched up another level as Trump admitted they were getting closer.
'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.
'We had to do that. We just have to be careful. And a threat was made and we didn’t think it was appropriate. So I have to be very careful,' Trump told reporters as he left the White House Friday for a weekend at his New Jersey golf club.
'A threat was made by a former president of Russia, and we’re going to protect our people,' he added.
