US expresses relief as South Korea reverses martial law decision
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has rescinded his earlier decision to impose martial law, a move that had originally been enacted for the first time in 45 years.
The White House responded to the reversal with relief, emphasizing the importance of democracy in the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
The decision followed a parliamentary rejection of Yoon’s martial law declaration, with 190 out of 300 lawmakers voting against it.
This led to an immediate lifting of restrictions on political activities and public demonstrations.
Celebrations ensued as the president announced compliance with the National Assembly’s decision, highlighting the withdrawal of troops from parliament premises.
