White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday denied he made misleading statements about a US Navy carrier group heading towards North Korea.
Last week...US President Donald Trump declared an armada was on its way to the Sea of Japan.
But the ships were actually sailing in the opposite direction to take part in joint exercises with the Australian Navy in the Indian Ocean.
The group is now expected to arrive in the Sea of Japan next week.
Speaking to reporters...Sean Spicer denied the White House had mislead the press:
IN: "What I was asked..."
OUT: "...at the time."
