WASHINGTON — The Kremlin tried Monday to defuse tensions caused by remarks from one of Russia’s top officials that led President Trump to shift two nuclear submarines closer to Moscow.
“As you know, Russia holds a responsible position. President Putin’s stance is well known,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to the official TASS news agency.
“Russia takes the issue of nuclear non-proliferation very seriously,” Peskov added. “And, of course, we believe that everyone should be extremely careful when it comes to nuclear rhetoric.”
