Trump warns Medvedev: nuclear submarines in return for provocative words

US President Donald Trump wrote on his social media page:

"In light of the provocative statements made by former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines to the appropriate regions, if these inappropriate and provocative statements are serious.

Words matter and can often have unintended consequences. I hope that will not be the case this time."
