Nuclear Submarines Moved Near Russia On Trump's Order

After trading barbs overnight with former Russian leader Dmitri A. Medvedev, President Donald Trump has ordered nuclear submarines to be positioned in 'the appropriate regions' near Russia 'just in case.' President Donald Trump delivers remarks during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office at the White House on July 14, 2025. Getty Images Trump on Friday announced the movement of the submarines on Truth Social after sparring online with Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, and telling Russia Tuesday it had "10 days from today" to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or be hit with tariffs. Medvedev on Monday accused Trump of engaging in a "game of ultimatums" and the American president told him to "watch his words"—a sentiment that was met with a reminder from Medvedev that Russia possesses Soviet-era nuclear strike capabilities of last resort. Trump on Friday said he'd ordered the movement of the submarines 'just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.' This is a developing story and will be updated.

People Are Rolling Their Eyes Into Oblivion After Hearing Karoline Leavitt's Latest Claim About Trump

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is getting put on blast after she once again demanded that President Donald Trump be given the Nobel Peace Prize. 'President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office,' she said as she listed some of those efforts. 'It's well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.' While Trump has had his hand in some ceasefire agreements, his efforts overall have been a mixed bag. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran, for example, came only after he launched a US strike on Iranian facilities. And some of the biggest conflicts have continued to rage. Related: Trump vowed repeatedly to end the war between Russia and Ukraine on his first day in office, but the situation has only worsened. He's also promised to end the war in Gaza, but Israel's assault in response to the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks has continued, and the humanitarian crisis has escalated. Trump has instead complained that he didn't get a 'thank you' from Gaza for sending money intended for food aid. But Leavitt's demand is in line with Trump's longtime grievance over the award. He's complained repeatedly about not getting one during his previous term in office, insisting that he should have had 'four or five' of them by now. And he really doesn't like that President Barack Obama was awarded one. Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had nominated Trump for the honor in a move many observers believed was just a blatant attempt to curry favor. As a result, Leavitt's critics fired back with a number of facts about her boss. Some also noted that she seemed to pronounce 'Nobel' as 'noble,' which, ironically, is how Trump himself has spelled the name of the prize in the past. Related: And a few compared her over-the-top praise for her boss to North Korean propaganda. @olddog100ua @3mendous @scarylawyerguy @djomegamvp Related: @jimstewartson @mermaid8861 @LucasSa56947288 @rpsagainsttrump @gregtsargent @chetterhub Related: @brettsbaker @ShayneALong @ronxyz00 @johnbrynt This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

US Sees Backing Syrian Leader as Key to Countering Iran and ISIS

US support for new Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa is essential to reducing Iran's influence in the country and prevent Islamic State from reorganizing, according to Washington's special envoy for the Middle Eastern state. 'The US objectives, and his objectives, and all of the allies' objectives at the moment are aligned, but there's so many constituencies who would like to interfere with that relationship,' Tom Barrack, who is also US ambassador to Turkey, told reporters in Washington on Thursday. 'Iran, on the other side, is a much more intense issue and problem for all of us.'
