U.S. diplomatic magazine "Gyeom-ryeong undermines foundation of Korea-U.S. alliance"

The Diplomat, a U.S. diplomatic magazine, criticized President Yoon Suk Yeol for undermining the foundation of the South Korea-U.S. alliance with his declaration of emergency martial law on the 3rd.

Diplomat pointed out that South Korea achieved democracy beyond military dictatorship, and that the South Korea-U.S. alliance gained international legitimacy, but President Yoon's martial law breaks it down, no matter how short it was.

He also analyzed that President Yoon's use of North Korea's threats for domestic political purposes has revived the fear of the United States, which is most wary of being involved in unwanted conflicts.

The media criticized President Yoon's failure to notify the United States in advance, especially, as a serious source of anxiety, and that using national security as an excuse for political action destroys trust between allies.
