South Korea’s acting President Han Duck-soo has vowed to mobilize all efforts to safeguard the country’s national interests amid a global trade war. He made this statement on March 24, following his reinstatement by the Constitutional Court, which overturned his impeachment.
"As acting president, I will do my utmost to ensure stable governance in accordance with the Constitution and laws. I will use all my knowledge and abilities to protect Korea’s national interests amid the trade war that has already become a reality," Han stated.
Addressing the ongoing political turmoil, he added, "Despite the intense conflicts we are experiencing, we all share the same goal: to ensure the continued development and prosperity of this country."
On Monday, the Constitutional Court annulled Han Duck-soo’s impeachment and reinstated him to office. This ruling marks another twist in the country’s prolonged political crisis, following his removal from office more than two months ago.
Han was impeached on December 27 after clashing with the opposition-led parliament and refusing to appoint three new justices to the Constitutional Court. He had briefly taken over as acting leader following the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was removed from office after declaring a short-lived martial law in December.
