The United States closely follows the political crisis in South Korea

Jinshi data, December 28th news, U.S. officials said on Friday that the political crisis in South Korea has not weakened the military preparations of the 28,500 soldiers stationed in the country, but Washington is closely following the situation. The South Korean parliament impeached acting President Han Dae-joo on Friday, less than two weeks after President Yoon Suk-yeol briefly declared martial law and was suspended, further plunging the country into political chaos. The presence of U.S. troops in South Korea is a legacy of the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. After martial law was declared this month, the U.S. and South Korea postponed exercises, and U.S. Defense Secretary Austin canceled his visit to South Korea. A U.S. official, who declined to be named, said the U.S. is following the latest developments on Friday, but military preparations on the Korean Peninsula have not been affected.
