On the same day, President Yoon presided over a senior secretaries meeting in the afternoon and gave these instructions after reviewing security and livelihood-related issues during his visit to the United States, spokesperson Lee Do-woon conveyed in a written briefing.

This directive coincides with the ruling People Power Party, the government, and the presidential office holding a party-government consultative meeting on measures against jeonse fraud, deciding to push for the enactment of a special law and amendments to the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (Special Act on Economic Crimes).

President Yoon is reported to have repeatedly urged his aides that there should be no gaps in state affairs management during his visit to the U.S.

Regarding Korean residents in Sudan amid the outbreak of armed conflict, he reportedly ordered, "Do not leave a single citizen behind; rescue them all and ensure their safety." Separately, President Yoon is said to have devoted himself to final rehearsals related to his U.S. schedule throughout the weekend.

President Yoon, who will visit the United States for a 5-night, 7-day trip from the 24th to the 30th, is scheduled to attend the Korea-U.S. summit, a state banquet, and deliver a speech at Harvard University. On the 27th, he will give a joint address to the U.S. Congress commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. alliance. It is reported that President Yoon has been preparing especially carefully for the approximately 30-minute speech, which will be delivered in English.
