South Korea has threatened to restart anti-North Korean propaganda broadcasts after North Korea resumed sending balloons filled with trash across the border.
South Korea threatened Tuesday to restart anti-Pyongyang frontline propaganda broadcasts in the latest bout of Cold War-style campaigns between the rivals after North Korea resumed its trash-carrying balloon launches. On Monday night, North Korea floated huge balloons carrying plastic bags of rubbish across the border in its fifth such campaign since late May — an apparent response to South Korean activists flying political leaflets via balloons.
Later Tuesday, Yoon boarded a visiting U.S. aircraft carrier docked at a southeastern port and told American and South Korean troops there that the two countries' alliance is the world's greatest and can defeat any enemy. Yoon became the first sitting South Korean president to board a U.S. aircraft carrier since 1994.
The USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier and its strike group's arrival is meant to cope with North Korea's nuclear threats and its advancing military partnerships with Russia, South Korean officials said. Their deployment is also part of a 2023 South Korea-U.S. deal meant to enhance 'regular visibility' of U.S. strategic assets on the Korean Peninsula. Yoon said the U.S. carrier is to leave the South Korean port Wednesday for a new trilateral South Korea-U.S.-Japan drill.
