RF, PRC Agree to THAAD Countermeasures, Urge USA to Stop Deployment

[Navarro]

"China and Russia have agreed to adopt 'further countermeasures' in response to Washington and Seoul's plans to deploy the US Army's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to South Korea ... no details were revealed about the type of measures agreed upon ... the new measures will be aimed at 'safeguarding the interests of China and Russia and the strategic balance in the region.' The two countries also urged the United States and South Korea to 'address their security concerns and stop the deployment of THAAD on the Korean Peninsula'"
