US aircraft carriers USS Ronald Reagan, USS Nimitz and USS Theodore Roosevelt, will sail into the East Sea one by one, starting tomorrow for a four day drill designed to frighten the North Korean leader into backing down on his threats.
They will be joined by 7 South Korean warships and a further 11 American vessels.
“The participating forces of the two nations plan to enhance combined operation capability and interoperability through aircraft carrier escort operation, aviation operation and aerial firing,” said the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a statement.
The upcoming exercises are aimed at strengthening the South Korea-US alliance’s policy of “extended deterrence” against the Kim’s continued provocations.
Earlier this week, the Donald warned North Korea against testing America.
“Do not underestimate us. Do not try us,” Trump said in an address to South Korea’s parliament.
“The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer,” he added, before urging other countries to join forces to stop the mad North Korean dictator.
North Korea may be about to launch a major missile test in response to the news.
US airliners have been banned from flying over the “Pyongyang Flight Information Region” due to the “hazardous situation”.
