As South Korea faces political turmoil with the removal of President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country finds itself at a crossroads in its foreign policy. The upcoming presidential election is critical, with frontrunner Lee Jae-myung softening his pro-China stance amid public backlash. Meanwhile, U.S. President Trump’s tariffs on key allies, including South Korea, are putting additional pressure on Seoul to navigate its alliances. With tensions rising in Northeast Asia, will South Korea lean toward the U.S. or China? What is the future of South Korea’s foreign policy? What potential shifts could reshape regional geopolitics?
