The U.S. and South Korea held a fourth day of joint military drills, as North Korea renewed its long-standing demand Wednesday that Washington abandon its “hostile policy” toward Pyongyang. According the Sacramento Bee, “The exercises, led by the USS George Washington supercarrier and involving hundreds of South Korean and U.S. ships and aircraft, were staged as a response to the sinking of a South Korean warship in March.”
“This week’s drills were intended to warn Pyongyang that Seoul and Washington will not tolerate further acts of aggression, military officials said. Pyongyang, which denies attacking the Cheonan, sees the naval maneuvers as proof that Washington is preparing to invade North Korea — which the U.S. denies.”
