Foreign media quickly covered it as a major article
Following the passage of President Yoon Seok-yeol, the impeachment bill of Acting President and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo was passed on the 27th, and foreign media also quickly covered it as a major article.
The New York Times (NYT) in the United States said, “Questions are being raised about who is the commander-in-chief of the government and military in Korea, one of the United States’ biggest allies,” and added, “Political uncertainty, such as falling business and consumer confidence and the falling value of the won, is causing economic pain.” “It is leading to this,” he diagnosed. Bloomberg News also reported that if U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has pledged high tariffs, takes protectionist policies that could hurt export-dependent countries like Korea after taking office on January 20 next year, the otherwise weak Korean stock market and the value of the won will decline. It is expected that there will be greater downward pressure.
The Associated Press also said, “Korea’s international image has been further damaged,” and expressed concern that it could halt Korea’s high-level diplomatic activities and deepen the political paralysis that has already caused financial market chaos. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) criticized, “It shows the failure of cooperation between Korea’s two parties to resolve political chaos.” ABC Broadcasting reported that the ruling and opposition parties and major legal scholars have different opinions regarding the quorum for impeachment against an acting president, so the vote itself could face legal ambiguity.
The NYT reported that U.S. President Joe Biden has made it his goal to strengthen partnerships with allies throughout his administration, and that the two leaders were so close that President Yoon, who visited the U.S. last year, sang “American Pie” at a dinner party at the White House in Washington, but this incident has affected the influence of the U.S. It was pointed out that the status and status also took a hit.
