All eyes are on South Korea after President Yoon Suk Yeol briefly declared martial law. Yoon’s second impeachment vote passed 204 to 85, with at least 12 of his own party members backing the motion. With his presidential powers suspended, Yoon now awaits the final verdict by the country’s Constitutional Court. In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we look at what this means for the region and the future of the U.S.-South Korea alliance. Furthermore, we take a deep dive into what a second Trump administration could mean for Kim Jong-un and North Korea’s muted response toward Yoon’s impeachment.
