The verbal exchange between Dmitry Medvedev and President Trump escalates tensions between nuclear superpowers. Trump directly criticized Medvedev on Truth Social, calling him a "failed former President" and warning him to "watch his words." This followed Medvedev's warning to Trump that ultimatums to Russia regarding Ukraine are a step towards war with America itself. Senator Lindsey Graham had also responded harshly to Medvedev, who sarcastically retorted. Medvedev then referenced "The Walking Dead" and the Soviet Union's "Dead Hand" nuclear system in response to Trump. He suggested Russia is on the right path if its words provoke such a reaction from the US president. Trump also commented on India's relationship with Russia, stating he did not care about their economic dealings. Trump had also recently imposed tariffs on India, noting minimal US-India business. Medvedev, a former Russian president and prime minister, is now a vocal supporter of the Ukraine operation. He is known for his strong anti-Western rhetoric on social media.
