Asked 2 hours ago
Answer
Trump has stated he ordered two nuclear submarines to move near Russia in response to threats from Russian officials, but did not clarify if they were nuclear-armed or nuclear-powered. He described it as a preparedness measure amid rising tensions over Ukraine, though experts and former officials criticized the move as risky and largely symbolic.
