As tensions continue to rise between the U.S. and North Korea, so has American military presence in the region.
The Air Force says two U.S. B-1 bombers completed a joint drill with South Korea and Japan over the Korean Peninsula on Monday. In a separate drill, two other bombers flew over South Korea on April 26th.
CNN is reporting that both missions were long planned, and that the U.S. wanted to keep the drills low profile.The North, however, says the U.S. is intentionally starting a military provocation. A state-run broadcaster in North Korea says American actions are getting to a point close to nuclear war.
South Korea says the U.S. bombers were put in place as a response to the North’s nuclear missile threat.
This comes a day after President Trump said he would be open to meeting with Kim Jong Un under the right circumstances.
