Reuters: South Korea says U.S. reaffirms it will pay THAAD costs; joint drills wrap up
South Korea said the United States had reaffirmed it would shoulder the cost of deploying the THAAD anti-missile system, days after President Donald Trump said Seoul should pay for the $1-billion battery designed to defend against North Korea.
In a telephone call on Sunday, Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, reassured his South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan-jin, that the U.S. alliance with South Korea was its top priority in the Asia-Pacific region, the South's presidential office said.
The conversation followed another North Korean missile test-launch on Saturday which Washington and Seoul said was unsuccessful, but which drew widespread international condemnation.

I remember you stated WNU that Trump is a man who can get 'seal a deal' done. He certainly didn't seal anything in this regard.
Trump is the living proof that we as humans and our society fails in equating capitalistic/financial success with general success and by extension with intellectual superiority, or at least is in denial: "he can't be that dumb"..coupled with the narrative that there's another, soft spoken, intellectual Trump. There's not. There's only the fake image he created. But not by genius intent, but by evolution like an amoeba - and the millions of his daddy allowed him to not only make many mistakes without ruining his financial life (as it would do to us- marking us as failures), but it emboldened him because at one point he started to succeed and kept telling himself he was naturally good at it. And maybe he was. But more likely he rose to power because of his daddy and living at the right time (especially 70-90s) at the right place (NYC) and knowing the right people (white millionaires and billionaires) and working in the right industry (real estate). Note that many of these things he did not choose but happened to him. He failed miserably in other businesses and other places. Miserably. Fake university. Fake meat. Failed at gambling/casinos (which is basically legalised theft in return for taxes). It's incredible we are paralysed and watch him. ..as if we were animals and he's the head animal we seem to be hypnotised and paralysed by. We should run him out of the white house and make America the way it used to be - a country where science and facts ruled and idiots were recognized as that. And treated as such. Wake up America, please wake up.
D. Plowman. H.R. McMaster said that President Trump knew that the U.S. was responsible for paying this deployment .... he was just expressing his dissatisfaction that such is the case. Nothing new there .... a lot of these agreements involve a heavy U.S. financial commitment, and it is something that Trump has been bitching about forever. The key question that needs to be asked is .... what will he do to change it. We shall see.
As for "sealing the deal" .... government policy takes a long time to change. He has pushed the executive as much as he can, the problem is the legislative branch of government .... they are operating from a completely different playbook. My prediction .... it is not going to be easy to seal any deal with these guys and gals.

Why Jabber JAy should just give up and quit
http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2017/4/30/23652/8779
Japan pays for the U.S. to be in Japan. It may not be a 100%, but they pay a lot.
So there is precedent and Jay is being his usual moronic libtard self.
LMFAO,
"There are still theoretical ways out of this mess, but they’re not realistic. He’s created a situation in which he’s wholly dependent on a party that is dysfunctional and that cannot and will not deliver for him. He can’t attack them or sideline them to approach the Democrats, and the Democrats wouldn’t have him if he tried.
He should quit. Honestly, he should see the writing on the wall and just quit. Parliamentary governments fail to form after elections all the time. It’s not all that unusual. This government isn’t going to work, and making us wait it out for three and a half years is as stupid as it is irresponsible.
There are no prospects for the Trump administration. It cannot and will not get better."
Jay, it's people like you why Trump's base keeps supporting him.. you always quote the lamest pundits and captain hindsights. .those are the people that brought trump to power because they and we can't listen to those mouth pieces any longer who always always see him at fault, which just isn't the case. Learn to differentiate. Yes, Trump is an idi*t, vulgar and so many other things, but on north Korea we've seen administration after administration do nothing and make it worse. We wouldn't be where we are today if Bush and Obama would have done more and would have called out china earlier. This war is gonna be costly because of them, less so because of him. Learn the difference. Don't post idi*ts who can't differentiate. You're making things worse, buddy. Didn't even have to read your link to guess all that. It's always the same.
Trump will be reelected.
LMFAO,
Trump's "base" will support him as long as BushII's did.
Then they will all change their login's, and pretend they were Never Trump, or Independents, just like they did with Bush II.
You might not have noticed, but the only thing Trump Voters hate more than the NORK's, French, Germans, Australians, Chinese, Mexican's , Not White Americans, is smart ass American's who know a little something about History, Science, Economics, Literature, Politics, Legislation, you know, Libtard Islamofacist Dirty Fucking Hippie 'Murkins,
They hate them so much they are going full Profia and making alliances with the Russians,
LMFAO,
Luckily, Trumpcare and their Oxy addictions thinning out the crowd.

I feel sorry for you poofta, if you have to go all the way to Australia for a hit piece.
I have been thinking. Canada is such a great place that maybe you did not leave it to work. What happens in San Fran stays in San Fran.
LMFAO,
Homophobic slurs, only work on homophobes,
LMFAO,
@Jay@Aizino
... You two really deserve each other.
... And should probably get a room at this point.
I'm sorry Jay. I am not afraid of gays, but you are probably, afraid of yourself.
LMFAO
