Donald Trump sends 3-word warning to Russia in WW3 nuclear threat

US President Donald Trump has issued a scathing rebuke to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, warning him to "watch his words." Writing on social media, Medvedev warned that any ultimatums from Trump would be considered " a threat and a step toward war". He then warned Trump: "Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road."

However, the US President responded furiously, writing: "Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he's still President, to watch his words. He's entering very dangerous territory." This comes after Mr Trump announced he would bring forward the deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine during his meeting with Sir Keir Starmer in Scotland. Asked by reporters how long he would set for the new deadline, Mr Trump said: “I am going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There is no reason in waiting.”

Mr Medvedev’s threat to Mr Trump follows the United States' threat of steep tariffs if a deal with Ukraine was not reached.

Mr Trump took office in January with the position that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would never have happened if he were president at the time. He then vowed to bring peace to the region within a short timeframe, yet has failed to do so.

During the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, the US President has admitted that Vladimir Putin has not been reasonable, taking a more stern approach with the Russian president.

Mr Trump’s response on Truth Social also extended to India, just hours after he vowed to impose a 25% levy on the country - as well as an additional import tax for buying Russian oil.

“I don’t care what India does with Russia,” he wrote on his social media platform. “They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.

“We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words.

“He’s entering very dangerous territory!”
