Former President Donald Trump has taken a bold step by ordering the repositioning of U.S. nuclear-powered submarines near Russian waters. This follows recent statements by Dmitry Medvedev, a top Russian official, warning of possible nuclear escalation.

Trump dismissed Medvedev’s comments as dangerous and warned that the U.S. will respond firmly to any threat. He issued a 50-day deadline for Russia to accept a ceasefire in Ukraine or face heavy trade penalties.

The submarines involved are part of the Ohio-class fleet, known for their strategic power and reach. While U.S. officials say the deployment is meant to deter aggression, tensions continue to rise across international borders.

World leaders are closely watching how the situation unfolds.
