SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s new liberal president on Tuesday demanded an investigation into why his office wasn’ t told by defense officials about the arrival of several additional launchers for a contentious U. S. missile defense system meant to cope with North Korea’s nuclear threats.
Before taking office on May 10, Moon Jae-in vowed to review the system’s deployment, which has infuriated both Pyongyang and Beijing, which considers the system’s powerful radar a security threat. Many of Moon’s supporters don’ t want the system, which U. S. President Donald Trump suggested Seoul should pay for.
On Tuesday, senior presidential adviser Yoon Young-chan said in a televised conference that Moon has discovered that four additional launchers for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system have arrived in South Korea since the original two launchers were installed in April.
