US 'relieved' South Korean President reversed course on martial law

On Tuesday, the White House said that the United States was "relieved" that South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol had reversed course after imposing martial law.

"We are relieved President Yoon has reversed course on his concerning declaration of martial law and respected the ROK National Assembly’s vote to end it," a National Security Council spokesperson said in a statement, using the acronym for South Korea's official name.
