Yoon Suk Yeol: Was South Korea’s president thwarted by a spring onion?
Quick Glance: South Korea’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ Triumphs Against President Yoon
  • Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

  • Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

  • Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

  • The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

Why North Korea wants another chance with Donald Trump
Quick Glance: North Korea's Second Chance with Donald Trump
  • Thomas Schäfer served as Germany's ambassador to North Korea in 2007-2010 and 2013-2018.

  • Pyongyang hopes for a win by former President Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, as the regime sees him as more amenable to its wishes than President Biden.

  • The North Korean government views cooperation with other countries as a threat to regime stability and fears that the influx of destabilizing ideas might lead to a German-style reunification of the two Koreas.

  • Pyongyang wants to give Trump another chance for negotiations to achieve its objectives, including the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the peninsula, weakening of the U.S.-Korean alliance, and control of South Korea.
