S. Korea Court Reinstates PM Han Amid Challenges

South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo was reinstated as acting president after the Constitutional Court dismissed the impeachment motion against him, saying his actions did not merit removal from office. Han had taken over from President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached following a controversial martial law declaration. Despite Han's impeachment for refusing to appoint additional justices to the Constitutional Court, the court ruled that his actions were not a serious constitutional violation. The political turmoil in South Korea is ongoing, with Yoon's impeachment still pending a decision. Han has vowed to stabilize the administration and address economic challenges, including a trade dispute with the U.S. The decision reflects a political landscape characterized by intense polarization and ongoing legal struggles among the nation's top leaders.
