View on YouTube THAAD Deployment Faces Delay of Up to A Year for Environmental Impact Probe
Deployment of the US anti-missile system in South Korea is facing a setback after the new government ordered a full-scale environmental impact probe. President Moon Jae-in is a vocal critic of the previous government’s decision to host the THAAD system.
“The order to conduct an environmental impact assessment is a guideline to enhance the procedural legitimacy of the deployment, so the defense ministry will review ways to conduct such a study,” South Korean Defense Minister Han Min-koo said on Tuesday, as cited by Yonhap News Agency.
The probe may take up to a year and delay the ongoing deployment of the system, Yonhap says.
The probe is the latest step in the new South Korean government’s review of the controversial deal signed under the previous administration. The defense ministry allegedly used a number of legal loopholes to expedite the deployment of the US anti-missile system and shield it from public scrutiny.
