SEOUL: South Korean Overseas Minister Cho Tae-yul stated on Wednesday (Dec 18) that President Yoon Suk Yeol’s short-lived bid to impose martial law had created some limitations in speaking with the group of US President-elect Donald Trump and undercut both sides’ political momentum.
At a uncommon joint information convention for overseas media, Cho and Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok sought to reassure Seoul’s allies and calm market jitters because the martial legislation try that shocked the nation and triggered the largest political disaster in many years.
Cho stated Seoul had constructed a community and communication channels with Trump’s marketing campaign that have been “stronger than these of another nation”, however the martial legislation order undermined “the political momentum” between the 2 sides.
“It’s true that there have been some disruptions with communication over the previous two weeks on account of this example,” Cho stated.
