Trump on sending submarines: We will protect our people
US President Trump said that his decision to send nuclear submarines was motivated by the need to protect American citizens, and that the US needs to remain cautious.
Trump told reporters, "We just need to be cautious. There were threats, and we consider them unacceptable, so I must act very carefully. I am doing this for the safety of American citizens. The threat came from the former Russian president, and we will protect our people."
US President Trump stated on August 1 that he ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines to "relevant areas" after Dmitry Medvedev, a deputy chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council, made comments.
