South Korea's president faces second impeachment vote over martial law order
Saturday, 14 December 2024 South Korea's parliament is set to vote again on whether to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after his short-lived attempt to declare martial law earlier this month.
If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office and if he is removed, an election to replace him must be held within 60 days.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will stand alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping at Beijing’s massive “Victory Day” military parade next week, marking a rare international appearance for the reclusive leader. China’s foreign ministry confirmed Kim’s attendance, calling it a symbol of the nations’ “traditional friendship.” The parade, marking 80 years since China’s war against Japan and the end of World War Two, will showcase thousands of troops, tanks, aircraft, and new anti-drone systems. For Xi, hosting Kim and Putin in Beijing is a major diplomatic win, signaling China’s central role in global geopolitics at a time when US President Donald Trump pushes for talks with both leaders. South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung has also been invited, raising the possibility of a rare North-South encounter. The spectacle will be closely watched as China displays power and positions itself as the key player in Asia’s balance of power.

US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy by suggesting that the United States should own the land where over 28,500 American troops are stationed in South Korea, instead of continuing under the current lease arrangement. Speaking with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House, Trump emphasized the massive investment made by the US in building military bases and hinted at renegotiating or taking full control. The proposal raises questions about the future of US-South Korea relations and strategic military deployments in the region.
