The U.S. government emphasized that impeaching South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol would not disrupt the alliance between the two nations. This assurance comes despite the National Assembly’s approval of the impeachment motion.

During a regular briefing on Monday, Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller responded to questions regarding the approval of the impeachment motion, stating, “The alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea remains ironclad.” Miller further asserted that this alliance extends beyond individual leaders, saying, “So first of all, when it comes to our relationship with the Korean people, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Korean people.”

Miller positively assessed the situation in South Korea following Yoon’s declaration of martial law, describing the recent events as a display of “democratic resilience,” adding, “We have seen the Republic of Korea, over the past few weeks, demonstrate its democratic resilience. That is democratic resilience that has – that was hard won several decades ago, and we have seen them follow peacefully a process that was laid out by the Republic of Korea’s constitution.”

He also highlighted the U.S. government’s readiness to work with acting president Han Duck Soo and the broader South Korean government. “And we are ready to continue to work with the acting president and the Government of the Republic of Korea in the same way that we were acting and cooperating with President Yoon,” he said.

Following the National Assembly’s approval of the impeachment motion on Saturday, the U.S. government strongly appreciated South Korea’s democracy and laws. President Joe Biden subsequently discussed cooperation strategies in a direct call with Han, reaffirming the strength of the U.S.-South Korea alliance.
