US President Trump said on Friday the United States will send a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East as high-level talks continue over Iran's nuclear development.

The US has already deployed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Arabian Sea near Iran. The New York Times reported on Thursday that the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford and its escort ships will be deployed to the Middle East.
