South Korea's court reinstates Han Duck-soo as president

South Korea's Constitutional Court has reinstated Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as acting president. This decision comes after Han was impeached nearly three months ago. The court ruled that there were not enough grounds to justify his impeachment, allowing him to return to power immediately. Han Duck-soo replaces President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was also impeached for declaring martial law in December. Han stated he would focus on stabilizing the country's economy, especially amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States. He expressed gratitude to the court and his cabinet for their support during his suspension. South Korea has been facing significant challenges, as it is one of the world's top exporters. The U.S. has imposed tariffs on South Korean goods, which has heightened concerns for the economy. Han's leadership is now crucial as the country navigates these trade issues. Han's term as acting president was brief before his impeachment. He had faced opposition for not opposing Yoon's martial law declaration strongly enough. Despite criticisms, Han is viewed as a unifying figure with a long history of service in government across different political parties. The situation in South Korea remains tense, with protests and calls for Yoon's impeachment continuing. The Constitutional Court is expected to rule on Yoon's case soon. If Yoon is removed, a presidential election will take place within 60 days. The political unrest has raised fears of deepening divisions in the country.
