Donald Trump made a high-profile statement, stressing that the United States is "fully prepared" for any development of events, including a nuclear conflict with Russia. He made this statement against the background of an escalating verbal altercation with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who, according to Trump, again resorted to rhetoric concerning nuclear weapons.
"Medvedev started talking about nuclear weapons, and when such a conversation comes up, we must be ready. And we are fully prepared," Trump said. He added that he had already given relevant orders to the military leadership, including the relocation of strategic submarines, as a show of force and a deterrent response to what he called a "rare but serious nuclear threat" from Russia. The President described these actions as a necessary measure to maintain the global balance of power and protect the national interests of the United States.
The appearance of such statements by Trump signals a possible tightening of Washington's line towards Moscow. Although official military sources have not yet disclosed details of possible submarine movements, the very fact that the president publicly mentions such steps indicates increased combat readiness of strategic forces and the desire to make their position as clear as possible to a potential adversary.
