Sounds like he’s setting up justification for nukes. They attacked US territory.
That is a russian policy. But I see how you got the two failing empires mixed up.
It's still possible that Trump has gotten his wires crossed and thinks it's an American thing. All it takes is one of his Russian handlers to mention that that's how it works in Russian and for him assume it's the same in the US. His brain isn't great with nuance after all. It's not like he understands the hows or whys of preexisting policies anyway.
