U.S.-South Korea Carry Out Military Exercises Signaling Strong Alliance

The U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis made a port call in South Korea on Sunday in a move signaling a strong U.S. - South Korea alliance. U.S. military officials said the military drills were not in response to North Korea's firing of two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea on Thursday, which violated U.N. Security Council resolutions.
