The United States and South Korea have launched official talks on the potential deployment of the U.S. THAAD missile defense system to the South, the Pentagon announced Wednesday.
"I can confirm that the joint working group (JWG) has met and that consultations are ongoing. The JWG is working 'expeditiously, but meticulously,' so no timeline has been established for when consultations will be complete," said Cmdr. Bill Urban, a Pentagon spokesman.
The working group will review all aspects regarding the potential of deployment of a THAAD system to the South, he said. (Yonhap)
