Donald Trump says he has ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the “appropriate regions” in a row with former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.<\/p>\n

It comes after Mr Medvedev, who is now deputy chair of Russia<\/strong>‘s Security Council, told the US president on Thursday to remember Moscow had Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities of last resort.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Mr Trump<\/strong> wrote on social media: “Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.<\/p>\n

“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”<\/p>\n

The spat between Mr Trump and Mr Medvedev came after the US president warned Russia on Tuesday it had “10 days from today” to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face tariffs, along with its oil buyers.<\/p>\n

Moscow has shown no sign it will agree to Mr Trump’s demands.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Mr Medvedev accused Mr Trump of engaging in a “game of ultimatums” and reminded him Russia possessed a Soviet-era automated nuclear retaliatory system – or “dead hand” – after Mr Trump told him to “watch his words” and said he’s “entering very dangerous territory!”<\/p>\n

Mr Medvedev, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was referring to a secretive semi-automated Soviet command system designed to launch Russia’s missiles if its leadership was taken out in a decapitating strike.<\/p>\n

He added: “If some words from the former president of Russia trigger such a nervous reaction from the high-and-mighty president of the United States, then Russia is doing everything right and will continue to proceed along its own path.”<\/p>\n

He also said “each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war” between Russia and the US.<\/p>\n

Mr Medvedev served as Russia’s president from 2008 and 2012, when Mr Putin was barred from seeking a second consecutive term, but then stepped aside to let him run again.<\/p>\n
