Moscow has responded to the US President Donald Trump’s redeployment of US submarines, saying, ‘The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones.’
"The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones, and the subs that US President Donald Trump ordered to be redirected to the appropriate regions have long been under their control. So no response from the Russian Federation to the American leader's statement about the submarines is required," the lawmaker stated.
The statement came from Viktor Vodolatsky, a senior Russian lawmaker, who was quoted by TASS.
On the other hand, as per the media reports, the editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, Fyodor Lukyanov, speaking on US’s redeployment, stated, "Trump, as we know, runs his own channel and reacts, so to speak, emotionally, humanly and spontaneously. I think that the armed forces, the naval forces of the United States read this with great surprise. If this exchange of opinions continues, and Trump continues to be drawn into it, then, one way or another, he will probably have to take some action. In my opinion, so far this is only at the level of words."
Trump on Friday said that after the "provocative statements" by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, he has ordered redeploying of the US submarines.
