US midterms: Democrats sweep Congress in Trump rout
US midterm elections on Tuesday resulted in a Democratic sweep, with major US broadcasters projecting the party will win majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, according to KBS World. President Donald Trump said he is "absolutely willing" to accept the results and work with Democrats, as reported by KBS World and the Korea Times, though the White House insisted Wednesday that Trump is "still your president" after the losses. The rout has dimmed prospects for a Trump-Kim summit, analysts told the Korea Times, and Seoul shares opened sharply higher on tech gains ahead of the results, with the KOSPI rising 124.21 points. Korean media coverage focuses on the political fallout, with the Korea Times reporting Trump sought to shift blame to fellow Republicans, while state officials braced for possible administration intervention in voting. The Korea Times also notes US stocks surged and Brent oil dropped below $95 per barrel following the results, and Iran's supreme leader warned of a wider war if the US resumes attacks.
