韩国首尔-朝鲜试射几天后，一艘美国航空母舰周日抵达韩国，展示武力巡航导弹来展示它的反击能力。
卡尔·罗宇胜号航空母舰及其战斗群抵达韩国釜山港是为了展示一个坚实的美韩军事同盟面对执着朝鲜的威胁韩国海军在一份声明中表示，这将提高盟国联合资产的互操作性。
据说这是自6月份以来第一艘前往韩国的美国航空母舰。
预计这艘航母的部署将激怒朝鲜，朝鲜认为临时部署如此强大的美国军事资产是重大安全威胁。朝鲜以导弹试验回应了美国航空母舰、远程轰炸机和核动力潜艇过去的一些部署。
自1月20日就职以来，唐纳德·特朗普总统一直表示，他将再次与朝鲜领导人金正恩接触，以重振外交。朝鲜没有直接回应特朗普的提议，但声称美国领导的敌对行动自特朗普就职以来，针对朝鲜的抗议愈演愈烈。
朝鲜周五表示，上周早些时候试射了战略巡航导弹，以告知对手其军事反击能力和核行动的准备状态。在观看了朝鲜今年的第四次导弹试射后，金正日命令军队做好使用核武器的充分准备。
专家表示，金正日不太可能很快接受特朗普的提议，因为他现在专注于支持俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争提供武器和军队。他们表示，当金正日认为他无法维持朝鲜目前与俄罗斯蓬勃发展的合作时，他可以考虑恢复与特朗普的外交关系
金和特朗普从2018年到2019年，在特朗普的第一个任期内会晤了三次，讨论朝鲜核计划的未来。他们的高风险外交最终崩溃了由于在美国主导的对朝鲜经济制裁问题上的争论。
US aircraft carrier arrives in South Korea days after North Korea test-fired missiles
SEOUL, South Korea --A U.S. aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea on Sunday in a show of force, days after North Korea test-launchedcruise missilesto demonstrate its counterattack capabilities.
The arrival of the USS Carl Vinson and its strike group at the South Korean port of Busan was meant to display a solidU.S-South Korean military alliancein the face of persistentNorth Korean threats, and boost interoperability of the allies’ combined assets, the South Korean navy said in a statement.
It said it was the first U.S. aircraft carrier to travel to South Korea since June.
The deployment of the carrier is expected to infuriate North Korea, which views temporary deployments of such powerful U.S. military assets as major security threats. North Korea has responded to some of the past deployments of U.S. aircraft carriers, long-range bombers and nuclear-powered submarines with missile tests.
Since his Jan. 20 inauguration, President Donald Trump has said he will reach out to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un again to revive diplomacy. North Korea hasn’t directly responded to Trump’s overture but allegedU.S.-led hostilitiesagainst North Korea have intensified since Trump’s inauguration.
North Korea said Friday it test-fired strategic cruise missiles earlier last week to inform its adversaries of its military’s counterattack capability and the readiness of its nuclear operations. After watching the launches, the North's fourth missile testing event this year, Kim ordered his military to be fully ready to use its nuclear weapons.
Experts say Kim won’t likely accept Trump’s overture anytime soon as he is now focusing on his support of Russia’s war against Ukraine withprovision of weapons and troops.They say Kim could consider resuming diplomacy with Trump when he thinks he cannot maintain his country's current booming cooperation with Russia
Kim and Trumpmet three times from 2018-19 during Trump’s first term to discuss the future of North Korea’s nuclear program. Their high-stakesdiplomacy eventually collapseddue to wrangling over U.S.-led economic sanctions on North Korea.
