The commonalities between President Trump and President Yoon are uncanny,’ says an influential Korean-American political action committee.

At pro-Yoon Suk Yeol rallies in Seoul, some placards have recently surfaced bearing catchphrases like “Stop the steal” which are used by Donald Trump’s supporters.

As the rest of the world moves forward, South Korea is at a political stand still. The country needs strong leadership as soon as possible, especially with Donald Trump now in office.

Trump has vowed to end the "weaponisation" of the Justice Department and has set about nominating and appointing allies to top posts in the department. Smith himself resigned from the Justice Department shortly before Trump took office, and both federal cases have effectively ended.

South Korean prosecutors on Sunday indicted impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on rebellion in connection with his short-lived imposition of martial law.

The return of Donald Trump to the presidency has sparked global reactions. China is hopeful yet cautious about economic ties, the immigration policy faces changes, and Afghans' refugee status is affected.

Prosecutors indicted detained South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday on charges of leading an insurrection with his short-lived imposition of martial law last month.
