US President Donald Trump criticized Russia’s nuclear missile tests and said Russian President Vladimir Putin should not say he will continue testing and strengthening his military infrastructure. “They know that we have a nuclear submarine, the best in the world, right on their coast. It doesn’t need to travel 8,000 miles or 12,900 kilometers,” said the North American, in comments to reporters aboard Air Force One this Monday, 27.
He added: “They are not playing with us, and we are not playing with them.”
Trump also criticized the prolongation of the war in Ukraine, saying that the conflict should have ended a long time ago. “The war that should have taken a week is now in its fourth year. That’s what you should be doing instead of testing missiles,” he said.

When questioned, the Republican avoided answering directly whether the US could apply more sanctions against Russia, but he did not deny the possibility. “You’ll find out,” he said.
Trump also defended the need to make the US shipbuilding industry again the “largest in the world”, as, according to him, it was during World War II.
The US president argued that, in addition to retaking the position currently occupied by China, strengthening the sector is a matter of national security for the US. “And because we want more ships,” he stated.
