SEOUL, South Korea—A U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea on Thursday in a demonstration of strength against North Korea, as the North’s leader reaffirmed his push to bolster ties with Russia.
The USS Ronald Reagan and its battle group came to the southeastern South Korean port of Busan after participating in a trilateral South Korean–U.S.–Japanese maritime exercise in international waters off a southern South Korean island earlier this week, the South Korean Defense Ministry said.
