Trump calls Medvedev ‘stupid’, Russian official fires back

U.S. President Donald Trump called former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev “stupid” after the Kremlin ally questioned reports that Washington deployed nuclear submarines near Russia.

Medvedev dismissed Trump’s claim, mocking it with a proverb about searching for a black cat in a dark room.

The exchange escalates a feud that began after Trump gave President Vladimir Putin an ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine.
