The United States sent four surveillance planes over the Korean Peninsula on Dec. 25 after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un threatened President Donald Trump with a possible “Christmas gift,” saying that the Trump administration was running out of time to salvage nuclear negotiations.
According to an aviation tracker, the United States flew four aircraft—the RC-135W Rivet Joint, E-8C, RQ-4 Global Hawk, and RC-135S Cobra Ball—simultaneously over the region between Christmas Eve and early Christmas Day, reported South Korea’s Yonhap news agency. The aircraft were believed to have carried out missions near the peninsula.
