Democrats Sweep US Congress in Midterm Rebuke to Trump

Democrats seized control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections, scoring sweeping victories in Republican strongholds for the first time in generations, the Korea Times reports. President Donald Trump said he will accept the results, according to the New York Times, while KBS World notes major U.S. networks projected the Democratic sweep. Analysts cited by the Korea Times say the outcome dims prospects for a Trump-Kim Jong-un summit and could complicate Seoul's push to regain wartime operational control, with experts warning the new majority may seek tougher conditions. Korean stocks face fresh policy uncertainty, while the won is expected to strengthen against the dollar, the Korea Times adds.
