US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday welcomed South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s decision to lift martial law just hours after he imposed it.
“We welcome President Yoon’s statement that he would rescind the order declaring emergency martial law in accordance with the ROK Constitution, after the National Assembly’s unanimous vote to reject the declaration,” Blinken said, using the acronym for South Korea’s formal name.
