Kremlin urges caution with nuclear rhetoric after Trump’s submarine order

Russia on Monday called for everyone to be cautious about nuclear rhetoric, following recent comments by US President Donald Trump about repositioning American nuclear submarines.

"In this case, it is obvious that American submarines are already on combat duty. This is an ongoing process, that’s the first thing," Peskov said.

Emphasising that Russia does not consider Trump’s announcement to be an escalation of nuclear tensions, he said, "We do not believe that we are talking about any escalation now. It is clear that very complex, very sensitive issues are being discussed, which, of course, are perceived very emotionally by many people."
