Lee urges thorough preparation after US midterms

President Lee Jae Myung has instructed officials to prepare thoroughly for changes in the external environment following last week's U.S. midterm elections, to minimize their impact on the domestic economy, KBS World reports. He also said Tuesday that Korea will continue to closely cooperate with the U.S. administration while seeking to expand bipartisan support in Congress, according to the Korea Times. Korean reaction focuses on uncertainty: an expert tells the Korea Times that chances of a Trump-Kim summit could rise as Pyongyang may view Trump as weaker, while a former U.S. official says North Korea's demand for nuclear recognition could complicate such efforts. Korean media also note Trump renewed baseless election fraud claims after Democrats swept Congress, and that the U.S. defense secretary faces a possible House impeachment vote this week.
