“The USS Theodore Roosevelt arrived at a naval port in the southeastern city of Busan on Saturday, the Navy said, in a show of force against evolving North Korean threats emboldened by the North’s deepening military cooperation with Russia. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Carrier Strike Group 9 entered the naval base in Busan, 199 milee southeast of Seoul, early Saturday, joined by the Aegis-equipped destroyer USS Halsey and the USS Daniel Inouye, according to the Navy. It marked the first arrival of a U.S. aircraft carrier in South Korea in seven months since the USS Carl Vinson’s visit in November. It also marked the first port call in Busan by the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which took part in a trilateral naval exercise among South Korea, the United States and Japan in April.” (06/22/24)
