[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min stated on the 8th regarding the U.S. presidential election results, “When a democratically elected president engages in politics of dictatorship, division, and hatred, the American people issue a removal order to the regime through democratic elections and correct that abnormality back to normal,” adding, “Our people can do the same.”


On the same day, Yoo said on Facebook, “This U.S. presidential election has left an important lesson for our politics,” and “The time for choosing to end a regime of arrogance, incompetence, hypocrisy, illegality, and division and to open a new democratic republic of unity and inclusion is approaching.”


Yoo congratulated Joe Biden on his election as the 46th president of the United States, saying, “I sincerely congratulate candidate Joe Biden on his election as the 46th president of the United States. I also send my respect and congratulations to the great choice of the American citizens who rewrote the history of the victory of the democratic republic,” and added, “At this time when the U.S. is experiencing severe division and chaos due to ideological factionalism and polarization by ideology, class, and race, and its global leadership is being challenged, the historical responsibility given is heavy and important.”


Yoo expressed hope that “President-elect Biden will heal and unite America as one with the spirit of inclusion and tolerance, and lead the unstable world, shaken by conflicts of war, disease, religion, ideology, and economy, toward coexistence, peace, and prosperity based on the fundamental values of humanity,” and said, “Over the past four years, the Korea-U.S. alliance has been on the test bench. The Trump administration calculated the alliance in terms of money, leading to the cancellation of joint Korea-U.S. military exercises and a deadlock in defense cost-sharing negotiations. Only a denuclearization show was held against North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, armed with nuclear weapons and missiles, and North Korea’s denuclearization has become more distant.”


Yoo stated, “Now the U.S. must uphold firm principles and pursue consistent policies regarding North Korea’s denuclearization, and I hope efforts will be made to transform the Korea-U.S. alliance into a strong alliance that shares values and strategies far more important than money,” adding, “South Korea and the U.S. must open a new path for cooperation toward peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula.”


Yoo also said, “President Moon Jae-in should also reconsider North Korea’s denuclearization, the Korea-U.S. alliance, and Korea-China relations from scratch,” and added, “The fake peace show that only buys time for North Korea’s nuclear missile armament while being dragged by North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un and weakens the Korea-U.S. alliance no longer works. I demand finding a new path for North Korea’s denuclearization and true peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula.”
