South Korea’s Acting President Talks to President Biden! 📞

Hey there! Did you hear the news from South Korea? Let’s break it down together.

On Saturday, South Korea’s parliament (that’s like their congress or government officials) decided to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol. “Impeach” is a big word that means they’re looking into whether the president did something wrong. While they figure this out, someone else has to step in to lead the country.

Enter Han Duck-soo! He is now the acting president, which means he’s taking care of things until the decision is made about President Yoon.

On Sunday, Han Duck-soo had a phone call with U.S. President Joe Biden! 📞 They probably talked about important things between South Korea and the United States.

Now, everyone is waiting to see what the Constitutional Court (that’s like the supreme court in South Korea) will decide about President Yoon. Will he come back to being president, or will Han Duck-soo continue as acting president? We’ll have to wait and see!

Isn’t it interesting how countries handle big decisions like this? Stay tuned for more updates!
