There are enough Russian nuclear submarines in the high seas to tackle two American subs dispatched by US President Donald Trump to counter Russia, a member of the Russian Parliament Duma has said.

“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,” a senior Russian lawmaker, Viktor Vodolatsky, was quoted as saying by TASS.

Earlier on Friday, Trump wrote on his Truth Social post that he had ordered the redeployment of US submarines “to appropriate regions” allegedly over “extremely provocative statements” by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is also the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.
