South Koreans vote for new president after Yoon Suk Yeol's ouster over martial law
South Koreans are voting for a new president in a snap election triggered by the ouster of Yoon Suk Yeol, a conservative who is facing rebellion charges over his short-lived imposition of martial law late last year. Voting began at 6 a.m. local time Tuesday at more than 14,000 polling stations nationwide, the election commission said. Voting ends at 8 p.m. local time, and observers say the winner could emerge as early as midnight. More than 15 million people had already voted during a two-day early voting period last week, accounting for nearly 35% of the country's 44.4 million eligible voters.

In a Facebook post, Lee called for voters to "deliver a stern and resolute judgement" against conservatives following the months of political turmoil. Meanwhile, the main conservative candidate, Kim Moon-soo, has struggled to win over moderate, swing voters. This election serves as another defining moment in the country's resilient democracy, but observers worry a domestic divide worsened by Yoon is far from over and could pose a big political burden on the new president. The winning candidate will immediately be sworn in as president for a single, full term of five years without the typical two-month transition period. The new president will face major challenges, including a slowing economy, President Trump's America-first policies and North Korea's evolving nuclear threats.

Kim has said he would meet Mr. Trump as soon as possible. Final campaign pitches In his final campaign speeches Monday, Lee promised to revitalize the economy, reduce inequality and ease national divisions. He urged the people to vote for him, arguing that a win by Kim would allow Yoon's "rebellion forces" to return. "If they somehow win, that would mean the return of the rebellion forces, the destruction of democracy, the deprival of people's human rights, the normalization of martial law and our country's downfall into a backward, third-world nation," Lee told the crowd gathered at a Seoul park.

PEDRO PARDO/AFP via Getty Images Kim, a former labor minister under Yoon, warned that a Lee win would allow him to wield excessive power, launch political retaliation against opponents and legislate laws to protect him from various legal troubles, as his party already controls parliament. Lee "is now trying to seize all power in South Korea and establish a Hitler-like dictatorship," Kim told a rally in the southeastern city of Busan. North Korea relations unclear Relations with North Korea remain badly strained since 2019, with the North focused on expanding its nuclear arsenal while refusing dialogue with South Korea and the U.S. Since his second term began in January, Mr. Trump has repeatedly expressed his intent to resume diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but Kim has so far ignored the offer while making Russia his priority in foreign policy.

Lee said he would support Mr. Trump's push to restart talks with Kim Jong Un, which he believed would eventually allow South Korea to be involved in some projects in North Korea. Foreign policy strategists for Lee understand there isn't much South Korea can do to bring about a denuclearization of North Korea, said Paik Wooyeal, a professor at Seoul's Yonsei University. He said Lee also doesn't share the Korean nationalistic zeal held by ex-liberal President Moon Jae-in, who met Kim Jong Un three times during his 2017-2022 term.

UK trade minister to meet USTR Greer to discuss implementing tariff deal
LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's trade minister Jonathan Reynolds will meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Tuesday to discuss the implementation of a trade deal that has been complicated by the announcement of fresh U.S. tariffs on steel. Reynolds will review recently agreed deals with counterparts from the U.S. and EU, Britain's two biggest trading partners, during a three-day trip to Paris and Brussels this week. The deals struck last month are both political pacts rather than formal trade agreements, and the details of their implementation have not been set out. Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to reduce tariffs on British imports of cars and steel to the United States, but its delayed implementation means tariffs may go up before they come down. Last week, Trump said that tariffs on imported steel would rise to 50% from 25% from Wednesday. Industry body UK Steel said it understood that British producers would likely be impacted by the change, which would be a "body blow" to the sector. A British government spokesperson said the UK was engaging with the United States on the implications of the announcement ahead of Reynolds' meeting with Greer to discuss implementation timelines of the bilateral agreement in Paris. "We recognise our relationship with G7 allies and EU counterparts must continue to evolve and deliver a better trading environment for our businesses and exporters," Reynolds said in a statement ahead of the trip. Reynolds will also meet Indian Minister of Commerce Piyush Goyal to discuss a recently negotiated Free Trade Agreement, which is still having its legal text finalised and is subject to ratification in both countries, which could take months. After meetings with G7 and OECD counterparts in Paris, Reynolds will hold talks with EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic. As part of efforts to reset ties without fundamentally reopening the Brexit deal, Britain and the EU have agreed to conclude talks to remove red tape on its food trade, but details of the plan have yet to be finalised. In advance of that agreement coming into force, Britain on Monday said it would scrap border checks on fruit and vegetables imported from the European Union, that had been due to be effective beginning in July.

Russia severely limited after attack: Ex-Ukraine ambassador
(NewsNation) — Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia are taking place in Turkey following a series of surprise attacks by Ukraine over the weekend. Ukraine says the drone attacks reportedly disabled 40 bombers, or a third of Russia's bomber fleet, though Russia disputes those claims and says only a few of its planes were hit. 'This means Russia's ability to strike into Ukraine will be severely limited,' John Herbst, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, said. 'It's also good news to the United States, because those long-range bombers are nuclear weapons-capable.' Herbst said if Ukraine's estimates are correct, then it's a plus for American nuclear security. He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin believes time is on his side in the three-year conflict and that he will be able to gain control over Ukraine and later other surrounding NATO nations if western support for Ukraine stops over time. Michael Cohen: Trump will 'go after Elon's money next' 'This is Putin's game, and sadly, weak Western leadership has proved him right with his war on Georgia in 2008, his seizure of Crimea in 2014 and the not-quite adequate Western response to the big invasion in 2022,' Herbst said. 'So he's hoping Trump's going to stop American military supplies to Ukraine. I think that may be a bad bet to Putin.' Herbst said the war is a life-or-death matter for Ukraine, and just as Israel also does not notify the U.S. of major military initiatives it takes, Ukraine is doing the same thing to protect itself. He added Russia realizes a major blow has been dealt to it, but it is downplaying the impact of the strike. 'It undermines the narrative that Russia will inevitably win this war,' Herbst said. 'If American military supplies continue to Ukraine, or they have support from other European nations, Ukraine will not lose this war. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
