FILE - In this March 3, 2017 file photo, a U.S. Navy F18 fighter jet lands on the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) following a patrol off the disputed South China Sea. The USS Carl Vinson, which is steaming through the South China Sea, is just one of several high-profile displays of U.S. naval power as President Donald Trump's administration weighs options of how to reassure allies and respond to an assertive China. The current makeup of the aircraft carrier strike group suggests it may not carry out an anticipated freedom of navigation operation just yet. China has scoffed at U.S. patrols and stepped up its own presence. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez, File)
