there are more batteries that are planned to be set up. i think what s important about thad being set up, leave aside the payment of it. the speed with which it was deployed. it happened remarkably quickly. if you were to talk to me two months ago on when they thought thad might be operational, i would have said mid summer. we had a hint of this last week from the head of the go pacific command saying in a few weeks he was right. and they re claiming it was initially operational. for a deeper look at this, i m joined by someone who knows this topic like no one else. good morni ed gordon chang. something that can t be missed here. south korea a major strategic ally of the united states. they have an election on may 9.
spokespeople out there speaking very openly, speaking very intelligently about the subject. having sean spicer say something like this, his way, the action was odd. mattis and haley were doing well explaining the policy. ambassador haley and general mattis were speaking there, he s probably wishing that today. another big story, if you pick up the new york post qugts this morni , donald trump liked to speak to the new york post. i like steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late. i had beaten all the senators and governors and didn t know steve. i m mild strategist and it wasn t like i was going to change strategy because i was facing crooked hillary. but steve is a good guy, and i told him to straighten up. steve happens to be steve bannon.
united states and russia. our own chief foreign correspondent richard engel is standing by for us in moscow where i guess day is about to break in the morning and, richard, we thought we would take a closer look since he is a part of this conversation at vladimir putin, what is known about him and what we should know about him that is germane to all this. so good morni . so good morning from moscow, it s just after 5:30 in the morning here. i wanted to go back to what david remnick was saying. the public discussion about trump has effectively ended. i was in moscow during president trump s inauguration and all you could see on russian televisions were documentaries about trump, how great this was going to be for russia. people were hosting private parties.
importance of ethics compliance to president trump and his administration. stephan has received the highest praise from party leaders of both sides from whom he has worked with. as former gingrich said, no one nabz the ethics process better than stephan, and as you saw from his tweetd this morni this is looking into various ways to stop voter fraud and he will travel to philadelphia with a retreat of congressional republicans where in addition to discussing his legislative agenda, he will also provide an update on the actions that he is going to be taking in the next few days. and, finally, before you ask, because i know it s an issue that is near and dear to me, i was asked yesterday about the status of the invitation of prime minister kenny from ireland to visit the united states on st. patrick s day, and i m pleased to announce that the president has extended that invitation. it happened actually during the transition period, and we look forward to the prime minister attending. with
