H.R. McMaster: US will renegotiate missile defense deal with South Korea
by Daniel Chaitin | Apr 30, 2017, 9:44 AM
President Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, asserted that a report mischaracterized his words about who will pay for the U.S.-provided anti-missile defense system being deployed in South Korea.
Reuters reported that McMaster, during a Sunday phone call with his South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan-jin, said the U.S. will abide by their prior bilateral agreement and pay for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system being installed in South Korea in response to North Korean agression. That could contradict what Trump said recently. The news outlet said it learned of the substance of the call from South Korea's presidential office, and did not provide any quotes.
