The recent developments in the ROK have raised grave concerns for the Biden administration, emphasizing the political turmoil faced by President Yoon, who is seen as crucial to U.S. regional strategies.
Yoon's emergency declaration and subsequent retraction amidst overwhelming domestic opposition reflect the precariousness of his political future, having narrowly won elections and faced escalating scandals.
The U.S. maintains that their alliance with South Korea is 'ironclad', expressing hopes that political disputes will resolve peacefully despite the rising tensions and uncertainty.
The stability of South Korea is viewed as essential for the U.S.’s tripartite security pact with South Korea and Japan, aimed at countering threats from China and Russia.
