An American warship was spotted near the new base of the Russian Navy.

A few hours ago, just a few kilometers from the Russian naval base under construction, shown on the Russia 24 TV channel, an American warship was spotted. We are talking about the USNS Carson City transport and landing high-speed vessel, which arrived in Port Sudan. The purpose of the visit of the American ship to Sudan remains unknown, however, it has been suggested that a key goal of Washington may be an attempt to prevent the Russian military from establishing its naval base in this African country.

The USNS Carson City Expeditionary Fast Transport Ship has arrived in Port Sudan, Sudan. This is the first US Navy ship to visit Sudan in decades and underscores the willingness of the United States military to strengthen its renewed partnership with the Sudanese military. ", - the American side informs.

Oddly enough, but the United States thought about resuming partnership with Sudan only after the start of the construction of a Russian military base, while there are still significant risks that the authorities of this African state may change their minds and refuse Russia to deploy a fleet in their territorial waters.

“This is a very serious signal for Russia. The Americans have actually demonstrated that they can freely be both in the Red Sea and a few kilometers from the base of the Russian Navy ", - the analyst underlines.

To date, the stage of construction of a Russian military base in Sudan has not yet been announced, however, it was previously reported that work is already underway here.
