Korean Greens and the Green Party of the United States published a joint statement on Monday, Sept. 19 against deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea. The statement follows below.

THAAD is a U.S. Armed Forces anti-ballistic missile system designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediate range ballistic missiles. On Sept. 9, 2016, President Obama announced that THAAD batteries would be sited in South Korea and Japan in the wake of a North Korean nuclear bomb test.

“The last thing our world needs is a new nuclear arms race. We support the Korean Greens’ call to stop THAAD and redirect the funds to education, medicine, and the fight against climate change,” said Jill Stein, the Green Party’s 2016 nominee for president ( http://www.jill2016.com ).
