Military Tech's video: Two US Warships Approach South China Sea Dispute Island

The US military said two of its warships sailed near islands claimed by China in the South China Sea on Monday (05/06/2019). This Washington military move could make Beijing angry, especially the relations between the two countries were tense. According to Reuters, citing the US military, two destroyer-type warships with guided missiles — USS Preble and USS Chung Hoon — were within 12 nautical miles of Gaven Reef and Johnson Reef in the Spratly Islands. The South China Sea is one of many flashpoints in US-China relations, including issues of trade war, Washington sanctions, and Taiwan. President Donald Trump dramatically increased pressure on China to reach a trade agreement. Trump announced on Sunday that he would raise US tariffs on goods from China worth USD200 billion this week.
