" WASHINGTON Harrison Smith Womens Jersey , Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- The White House confirmed Thursday that U.S. and South Korean fighter jets had intercepted Russian bombers flying near the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan in the Sea of Japan earlier the week.
The encounter took place when the U.S. conducted a military exercise with South Korea in ""international waters"" off the Korean Peninsula, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest at the daily briefing.
The Russian aircraft, whose numbers were not revealed, were intercepted first by South Korean military aircraft. And then four FA-18 fighter jets from the Carrier Air Wing Five were launched to escort the Russian bombers until they departed the area, Earnest said Kirk Cousins Womens Jersey , adding the incident did not result in a significant confrontation.
""We have previously raised concerns about Russian military aircraft essentially carrying out incursions on the sovereignty of other countries,"" Earnest said.
The U.S. has ""regularly urged the Russian military to make sure that their operations in this space were consistent with generally accepted international protocols,"" Earnest noted.
While acknowledging that the U.S. and Russia have ""some vigorous disagreements"" on issues like Ukraine and Syria, the spokesman refused to characterize the current tense U.S.-Russia relationship as a new Cold War.
""The situation today is much different"" as Russia ""does not have the same kind of influence around the globe that the Soviet Union once did,"" he said.
The nuclear-powered USS Ronald Reagan Adam Thielen Womens Jersey , based at the Yokosuka naval base in Japan, has just replaced the USS George Washington aircraft carrier since earlier this month.

CANBERRA, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Australian Senate on Monday passes legislations surrounding the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA), clearing the final hurdle to enact the agreement.
The Customs Amendment (China-Australia Free Trade Agreement) Bill 2015 and the complementary Customs Tariff Amendment (China-Australia Free Trade Agreement) Bill 2015 passed the Senate after being approved by the House of Representatives on October 22, 2015.
Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb said Australian businesses are another step closer to realizing the enormous opportunities created by ChAFTA.
""The Government has worked hard to ensure this high-quality agreement with our biggest trading partner enters into force before the end of the year, and today's vote marks a significant milestone in that process Jalyn Holmes Womens Jersey ,"" Robb said.
""Entry into force this year will see an immediate round of tariff cuts, followed by a second round of cuts on 1 January 2016, allowing the benefits of the agreement with China to flow quickly through to Australian exporters and consumers.""
Following the vote, Robb acknowledged the support of the opposition, which he said continued Australia's long-standing tradition of bipartisan support for freer trade.
ChAFTA was previously objected by the opposition Brian O'Neill Womens Jersey , which had expressed concerns over visa regulations surrounding foreign projects.
Labor had said by bringing in cheaper workers from China, large companies could pay them significantly less than the Australian standard.
The government and the opposition struck a deal on October 21 on the changes to Australia's legislation, which will ensure that Australian workers are offered work first, and any workers coming in from China must be licensed and fairly paid as not to undermine Australian pay, conditions and standards.
This deal leads to a bi-partisan support of the China-Australia trade deal.
Shadow Trade Minister Penny Wong said on Monday at the Senate that the legislation required in order for ChAFTA to be approved in Australia would simultaneously protect Australian workers and conditions Daniel Carlson Womens Jersey , while also ""delivering jobs"" and scope for businesses to grow in the future.
ChAFTA will also result in the removal of a number of tariffs, such as those on Australian beef, dairy and wine coming into China, while Australians will have access to cheaper Chinese goods, such as electricals and homewares.
""The agreement will enter into force when Australia and China have both completed their domestic treaty Mike Hughes Womens Jersey , making processes, and we're working with China for this to happen as soon as possible,"" Robb said.
