03.12.2024 โ‡ข The Day South Korea's Democracy Bent But Did Not Break
โŒจPresident Yoon's morning declaration of martial law in South Korea, citing opposition "anti-state activities," triggered an immediate constitutional crisis. Parliament's unanimous 190-0 vote to reject the order by early afternoon demonstrated institutional resilience, though military leadership initially resisted parliamentary authority.
The crisis resolution by evening, with Yoon's retreat, overshadowed ongoing U.S. political developments, including fresh revelations about Trump's FBI director nominee Kash Patel's plans to reshape the bureau, and continued fallout from Biden's pardon of Hunter.
Markets responded to Trump's expanded tariff threats against Canada, with analysis showing potential impacts on beer imports and pickup trucks. Macron's invitation to Trump for Notre Dame's reopening signaled European preparations for potential power shifts, while Idaho gained authority to enforce its "abortion trafficking" law.
The Pentagon expressed "grave concern" over Seoul's brief emergency, while NATO sources leaked European preparations for potential escalation scenarios.
