Trump says Medvedev ‘entering very dangerous territory'

US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, calling him a 'failed' leader and cautioning him against combative rhetoric. Medvedev, now serving as deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, had earlier dismissed the notion that Trump, or any other US official, could dictate Moscow's stance on the Ukraine conflict. His comments came in response to American calls for Russia to negotiate peace or face tougher sanctions. Trump fired back in a post on Truth Social, in which he vented frustration over resistance from Russia and India to his international trade agenda. He claimed both countries had 'dead economies,' before singling out Medvedev. 'Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he's still President, to watch his words. He's entering very dangerous territory!' Trump wrote. Medvedev responded, saying the 'nervous' reaction by the American leader simply proved that Russia was right in its policy choices and should maintain its course. Earlier this week, Medvedev responded to remarks by US Senator Lindsey Graham, who warned Russia to comply with Trump's demands for swift peace talks with Ukraine or face consequences. Medvedev retorted that 'it's not for you or Trump to dictate when to 'get at the peace table.'' Medvedev has criticized what he described as Trump's 'theatrical' ultimatums, warning that such pressure tactics only increase the risk of a direct conflict between the two nuclear powers. 'Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!' he said, referencing Trump's mocking nickname for former President Joe Biden. Russia continues to assert that it will meet all of its military objectives in the Ukraine conflict, whether by force or diplomacy. Officials in Moscow say a negotiated resolution is preferable but currently unfeasible due to what they describe as Kiev's unreasonable positions and unwillingness to engage in good-faith talks.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre has added Australia to its advisory after a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of eastern Russia.

The warnings have extended to Japan, Hawaii, parts of the west coast of North and South America, Alaska, parts of South East Asia, Guam and all Pacific Islands. The centre has also issued a warning to Australia, adding that waves reaching 0.3 to 1m are possible along the coast. A Bureau of Meteorology spokesman said there was no tsunami threat to the country. 'The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre have assessed the event in the Pacific and there is no threat current to the Australian mainland and islands,' they told NewsWire. 'The JATWC will continue to monitor and assess the situation as it evolves.' New Zealand has issued warnings to residents living in coastal areas, advising them to steer clear of beaches and the shore. The National Emergency Management Agency said there was no reason to evacuate unless ordered to do so by authorities. Affected areas include the West Coast of the North Island from Cape Reinga to Raglan, including the West Coast of Auckland and Manukau Harbour, and from Hawera to Whanganui. Other areas affected by the threat include the east and south coasts of the North Island from Cape Reinga to Makara including Whangarei, Great Barrier Island, the east coast of Auckland, Waiheke Island, Waitemata Harbour, Tauranga, Whakatane, Opotiki, Gisborne, Napier, Lake Ferry, the Wellington south coast and Wellington Harbour.
