The U.S. Department of State has expressed its readiness to work with Acting President and Prime Minister Han Dak-soo to advance common interests and values.
The impeachment decision, adopted on December 14, transfers the interim presidency to Prime Minister Han Dak-soo. At the same time, South Korea's Constitutional Court has up to 180 days to decide whether to remove Yun Suk-yol from office or reinstate him.
Before the vote in parliament, thousands of demonstrators gathered in the center of Seoul, calling on the president to resign. Among the reasons for the citizens' discontent are a series of internal crises and rising social tensions that have increased political instability in the country.
The US reaffirmed its support for South Korea, emphasizing the importance of the rule of law and stability in the region.
