US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Saturday called the impeachment of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol a sign of democratic resilience and pledged to work with Seoul’s new leadership.
“I think the most important thing is that the Republic of Korea demonstrated democratic resilience,” Blinken told reporters in Jordan.
“We’ve seen it follow peacefully a process laid out in its constitution,” he said.
“We are ready to work with President Han as he assumes office,” he said, referring to Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who is due to take over as interim leader.
“We strongly support the Korean people. We strongly support the ironclad alliance” between the United States and South Korea, Blinken said.
