Japan has teamed up with the US Navy — joining them in military drills near the Korean peninsula — as a dramatic show of force against North Korea, a report says.

The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force is expected to dispatch “several destroyers” to the region while tensions continue to intensify between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, according to Reuters.

Sources with direct knowledge of the plans told the outlet that Japan’s navy will ultimately be allowed to conduct helicopter landings on US ships, as well as communication drills.

The USS Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group — which is comprised of approximately 7,500 sailors and nearly 100 aircraft — is currently making its way into the East China Sea and will be closely coordinating the operations with the Japanese, the sources said.

Experts believe the show of force may spark outrage in Beijing, as the Chinese continue to spar with the neighboring nation over uninhabited islets near Taiwan.

The display comes as concerns grow in the US, Japan, South Korea and China over the North’s nuclear weapons program. The Hermit Kingdom has conducted countless missile tests in recent years — including one just last week — after firing off their first nuke in 2006.

North Korean officials warned early Tuesday that they were prepared to go to “war” with the US, should they keep sending ships towards the Korean peninsula.

President Trump later blasted the comments on Twitter — saying the communist country was “looking for trouble” and that the US would “solve the problem” with or without China’s help.

The Carl Vinson strike group had been on its way to Australia before it was re-routed from Singapore to the East China Sea on Sunday.
