Under the Obama administration, the US and South Korea agreed to the deployment of a US missile defence system in South Korea.
The US and South Korea say the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) will defend South Korea from North Korean missile threats.

There are just under 28,500 US military personnel based in South Korea, as part of a post-war arrangement.
Both Japan and South Korea rejected this idea.
