On Seoul's streets, South Korea is reeling from president's high-risk antics
Wednesday, 4 December 2024 Night has fallen in Seoul and the cold is biting. But outside the National Assembly, the air is bright with candles and thick with the cries of people calling for the president to be impeached.
South Korea witnessed a dramatic day as President Yoon Suk Yeol’s unprecedented declaration of martial law sent shockwaves through the nation. Armored vehicles and troops briefly mobilized on the streets of Seoul, sparking mass protests outside Parliament. Thousands of citizens, braving freezing...
In a bombshell announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump has declared a “Full and Complete Trade Deal” with South Korea — worth a staggering $350 billion in American-controlled investments. Trump, who claims the deals were “selected by myself, as President,” also revealed a $100 billion LNG energy commitment from Seoul and exclusive, tariff-free access for U.S. products in Korean markets.
In return, South Korea’s exports to the U.S. will face a stiff 15% tariff. Trump described the agreement as a symbol of America’s dominance, likening it to the collection of “imperial tribute.” The deal includes upcoming additional investments, to be finalized when President Lee Jae Myung visits Washington. With dramatic language and economic muscle-flexing, Trump painted the deal as a massive American win — and a clear message to rival economies, particularly India and China.

South Korea is reeling from catastrophic flooding and landslides triggered by relentless heavy rainfall since July 16, 2025. The death toll has surged to 14, with 12 still missing, as nature's fury battered central and southern regions. In the resort town of Gapyeong, a deadly landslide buried homes, while floodwaters swept vehicles away.
Sancheong County alone recorded nearly 800mm of rainfall, leading to the evacuation of over 7,000 residents nationwide. The national weather agency has forecast the rain will cease by Sunday, but a blistering heatwave is set to follow. Experts warn climate change is intensifying these extreme weather events, pushing South Korea to the edge. As rescue teams scramble and damage assessments begin, authorities continue to urge caution. The tragedy underscores growing environmental risks as weather patterns become more volatile and unpredictable.

Donald Trump’s second term is now synonymous with diplomatic failure, global chaos, and domestic division. From the controversial closure of the Epstein case to inflaming the Israel-Iran conflict, Trump’s unpredictable policies have left even his allies in dismay. His sudden $300 million Ukraine aid after earlier cuts has confused NATO partners.
Worse still, Trump’s tariffs on longtime allies like Canada, Japan, and South Korea have sparked economic retaliation, forcing countries to diversify away from the U.S. Critics say his leadership is built on instability and ego, not strategy. Meanwhile, top voices in his MAGA base are turning against him, furious over his handling of Epstein and repeated cabinet dysfunction. In this political storm, one question echoes louder than ever—is Donald Trump the worst president America has ever seen?

Donald Trump has slapped 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea, warning both nations to “build in the USA or pay up.” With a July 9 deadline looming, Trump’s letters threaten even steeper tariffs if Tokyo or Seoul retaliate or refuse trade deals. He blames long-standing U.S. trade deficits on “unfair policies.” Investors reacted sharply—Nissan shares tumbled over 7%. As tariff tensions rise, Trump promises fast-track approvals for companies shifting production to the U.S., intensifying global trade war fears.
