 Vice President of the United States Michael R. Pence visited USS Ronald Reagan to speak to service members of the United States and Japan. Pence stressed the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance and promoting peace in the Indo-Asia Pacific region. The United States-Japan alliance is the cornerstone of peace, prosperity and freedom in the Asia Pacific. And let me be clear, under President Donald Trump, the United States stands unwavering in our alliance and unyielding in our resolve to defend all that we have built together over these generations. Pence also thanked the service members for their service and took time to personally meet with many of them before departing the ship. Reporting from USS Ronald Reagan, I'm Petty Officer Jamal Radell.
