U.S. Carrier Arrives In Vietnam Amid Rising Chinese Influence In Region

Description

On Monday, a US aircraft carrier arrived in Vietnam for the first time since the end of the Vietnam war, emphasizing the growing strategic ties at a time when China's regional influence is rising. The US ambassador to Vietnam said “The visit marks an enormously significant milestone in our bilateral relations and demonstrates U.S. support for a strong, prosperous and independent Vietnam." Although no U.S. aircraft carrier has been to Vietnam since the end of the war, other, smaller U.S. warships have made high-level visits.
