USS Theodore Roosevelt to participate in joint military exercises between the United States, South Korea and Japan. A nuclear-powered United States aircraft carrier has arrived in South Korea for three-nation exercises aimed at stepping up military training, days after North Korea and Russia signed a mutual defence pact. “The US Navy’s aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt … arrived at the Busan Naval Base on the morning of June 22,” the South Korean Navy said in a statement. The carrier is expected to participate in joint exercises with South Korea and Japan this month. Putin visited North Korea for the first time in 24 years.
