JAKARTA - US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt arrived at the port city of Busan in South Korea for joint military exercises with host and Japanese countries, South Korea's navy said.
The US carrier arrived in Busan on Saturday, June 22. It is known that the leaders of the three countries agreed at the Camp David summit in August 2023 to hold annual military exercises because they condemned China's "dangerous and aggressive behavior" on the disputed waters of the South China Sea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea this week for the first time in 24 years and signed an agreement with leader Kim Jong Un which includes a shared defense pledge.

This is one of the most significant Russian moves in Asia over the years, which Kim describes as an alliance.
