South Korea's President Lee Urges Bipartisan Outreach to U.S. Congress and Close Market Monitoring
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, presiding over a cabinet meeting at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul on November 10, urged his government to build bipartisan support in the U.S. Congress, closely monitor financial markets and prepare contingency plans as Seoul navigates the implications of the U.S. midterm elections. Lee instructed ministries to assess potential developments in the international environment and prepare measures to minimize the impact on the domestic economy.
Lee said the most important thing is to focus diplomatic efforts on strengthening and expanding trust and cooperation between South Korea and the United States from a mutually beneficial perspective. He also called for broader engagement with U.S. state governments and businesses.
In the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, the Democratic Party won control of both chambers of Congress, setting the stage for divided government in Washington. Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il told lawmakers on November 9 that AI investment in the real economy remained robust despite stock market concerns after the U.S. midterms, citing expert assessments.
