US President Donald Trump has called Russia's nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile test "inappropriate" and advised Russian President Vladimir Putin to focus on ending the conflict with Ukraine. Donald Trump also highlighted the US' nuclear capabilities, stating that they have a nuclear submarine. "They know we have a nuclear submarine, the greatest in the world, right off their shores. So, I mean, it doesn't have to go 8,000 miles. And they're not playing games with us. We're not playing games with them either. We test missiles all the time," Donald Trump said while interacting with reporters on Air Force One. "I don't think it's an appropriate thing for Putin to be saying either. By the way, he ought to get the war ended. A war that should have taken one week is now in its fourth year. That's what he ought to do instead of testing missiles," he added.
This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin in his address to the Federal Assembly (Russia's bicameral parliament) stated that Moscow had developed a smallsized nuclear power unit that could be used in a cruise missile to extend its range practically indefinitely. According to Putin, this would be a low-flying missile with an unpredictable trajectory, TASS reported.
Trump has kept the possibility of running for a third presidential term in 2028 open. When asked about former White House strategist Steve Bannon's recent suggestion that he seek an unconstitutional third term, Trump, during his interaction with the media aboard Air Force One, said, "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever." However, he quickly added that he "hasn't really thought about" running again.Trump has arrived in Tokyo for the second leg of his Asia trip, following a successful visit to Malaysia, where he participated in the ASEAN Summit.
