A nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier, the Theodore Roosevelt, has arrived in South Korea's port city of Busan for joint military exercises with the host nation and Japan. The arrival, which occurred on Saturday, June 22, 2024, is part of the 'Freedom Edge' drills involving the navies of the three countries. These exercises include maritime operations, anti-submarine warfare, and air defense drills. The move is seen as a show of force against nuclear-armed North Korea, whose threats have escalated in alignment with Russia. The development also follows South Korea's summoning of the Russian ambassador to Seoul to protest a defense deal between Russia and North Korea.
