Russia says that an American warship passed within 160 feet of a Russian warship at 1135 pm Eastern US time Thursday night.
The incident in the East China Sea-Philippine Sea area involved the US cruiser Chancellorsville and the Russian destroyer Admiral Vindogradov.

Also in France, the aunt and the niece Le Pen offering differing views on the future of French politics.
Marion Marechal, who's dropped her last name "Le Pen", says that the National Rally currently led by her aunt Marine Le Pen needs to form a "grand coalition" with the traditional "Right" in France like the "Republicans" who are currently splintering following a poor showing of just over 8 percent of the vote in the recent European Parliament elections.
But Marine Le Pen told BFM-TV Friday that her niece's assessment of the situation is "pessimistic" and that what's happening in France politically right now is a dividing of voters between the:
"globalists and the nationalists"
and that this division which saw the National Rally win more votes than Emmanuel Macron's La Republique En Marche in the recent European Parliament elections is continuing to unfold.
Opinion polling in France gives both Marine Le Pen and her niece who's dropped the "Le Pen" from her name, Marion Marechal, roughly equal personal popularity with Le Pen at 44 percent and Marechal at 43 percent.
