US to deploy THAAD anti-missile systems in S. Korea ‘as soon as possible’

The US will deploy the THAAD missile defense system to South Korea “as soon as possible,” Washington confirmed, less than three months after Seoul agreed to host it. The move, opposed by China and Russia, allegedly aims to counter the North Korean threat...

When asked by the Subcommittee if he could confirm THAAD’s deployment is “a done deal,” Russel replied, "yes, I do.” At the same time, the diplomat stressed that despite strong concerns having been expressed over THAAD’s deployment by Pyongyang, Beijing and Moscow, the complex will be deployed for “defensive” reasons only. “This is a defensive measure aimed not at China, but at North Korea. It is a defense based decision, not a political decision."
