By Idrees Ali | WASHINGTON

A U.S. Navy strike group will be moving toward the western Pacific Ocean near the Korean peninsula as a show of force, a U.S. official told Reuters on Saturday, as concerns grow about North Korea's advancing weapons program.

Earlier this month North Korea tested a liquid-fueled Scud missile which only traveled a fraction of its range.

The strike group, called Carl Vinson, includes an aircraft carrier and will make its way from Singapore toward the Korean peninsula, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak to the media and requested anonymity.

"We feel the increased presence is necessary," the official said, citing North Korea's worrisome behavior.

The news was first reported by Reuters.

In a statement late Saturday, the U.S. Navy's Third Fleet said the strike group had been directed to sail north, but it did not specify the destination. The military vessels will operate in the Western Pacific rather than making previously planned port visits to Australia, it added.

This year North Korean officials, including leader Kim Jong Un, have repeatedly indicated an intercontinental ballistic missile test or something similar could be coming, possibly as soon as April 15, the 105th birthday of North Korea's founding president and celebrated annually as "the Day of the Sun."

Earlier this week U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Florida, where Trump pressed his counterpart to do more to curb North Korea's nuclear program.

Trump's national security aides have completed a review of U.S. options to try to curb North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. These include economic and military measures but lean more toward sanctions and increased pressure on Beijing to rein in its reclusive neighbor.

Although the option of pre-emptive military strikes on North Korea is not off the table, the review prioritizes less-risky steps and de-emphasizes direct military action.

Trump spoke with South Korea's acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn on Friday, the White House said on Saturday in a statement which did not mention the strike group.

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 04/08/17 08:44 PM EDT

The United States is moving a Navy strike group toward the Korean Peninsula amid rising concerns over North Korea's weapons program, the Navy said in a statement on Saturday.

The Navy's Carl Vinson strike group left Singapore on Saturday and will move into the Western Pacific Ocean near the Korean Peninsula.

A U.S. official told Reuters that the move is intended to put pressure on North Korea to curb its recent weapons tests

"We feel the increased presence is necessary," the official said.

North Korea has conducted a number of weapons tests this year. The hermit kingdom on Tuesday launched a Scud missile, which went only a short distance before crashing into the sea east of the Korean Peninsula.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has indicated that the country could test an intercontinental ballistic missile at any time.

President Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, where Trump reportedly urged Xi to take a tougher stance on North Korea.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said that military action against North Korea is an "option," though Trump's national security aides have stressed economic sanctions.

Trump spoke by phone with acting South Korean President Hwang Kyo-Ahn on Saturday, agreeing to "stay in close touch regarding North Korea," according to a White House statement.

C'mon general summarize the middle east's security dynamics in 3 bullet points. UGGGGGHHHHHH being president is so hard!

Trump approaching middle east policy is like watching a horse try and fix a merry-go-round.

Let me try (from the perspective of a Trump Administration official):

- The Brits carved up the Ottoman Empire wrong at the end of WW1, so we ended up with countries that had no historical precedent and a wide mix of demographics; which is a problem when the two main branches of Islam, the Shia (Iran and parts of Iraq) and the Sunni (everyone else), completely hate each other. It's okay though, because they all hate Israel the most and we can use that to our advantage.

- Within the Sunni majority areas there's a divide between secular/moderate Sunnis and radical Sunnis. The radicals are like Evangelical Christians and the moderates are like the Catholics. We like certain radical nations/groups, like Saudi Arabia, but dislike others like ISIS. Likewise, we like certain secular/moderates like Jordan and Turkey and dislike others like Assad's Syria (and Iraq before we invaded). I've prepared a separate list for you complete with Pros and Cons.

- There are also lots of Christians, Jews and minority Muslim sects scattered across the region. No matter what you do, you will be hurting some of them unless we start taking refugees, which doesn't play well with your base. And since all the conflict in the region is mostly demographically aligned rather than strictly nation state, no amount of diplomacy or military action will solve this. Best of luck Mr. President.

Fine, three sentences.

- The British hosed up and now the countries are all shaped wrong.

- Everyone hates everyone else because of ideology, and we like some of them, but completely arbitrarily and based off our selfish interests.

- No matter what you do you innocent people will die and everyone except for Neocons will hate you (and they already hate you for other reasons).
