South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung said on Tuesday that he is against the United States moving air defense systems from his country to use them in the Middle East, but acknowledged there isn't much he can do if Washington opts for such a move.
"The USFK [US Forces Korea] may dispatch some air defense systems abroad in accordance with its own military needs. While we have expressed opposition, the reality is that we cannot fully push through our position," Lee told his cabinet.
The comments come after South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said that Seoul's and Washington's militaries discussed potentially redeploying Patriot missile defense systems to use in the US war against Iran.
