Thursday Briefing: An impeachment motion in South Korea Inbox The New York Times Unsubscribe Wed, Dec 4, 11:00 PM (7 hours ago) to me View in browser|nytimes.com Ad Morning Briefing: Asia Pacific Edition December 5, 2024 Author Headshot By Gaya Gupta Good morning. We’re covering an impeachment motion in South Korea and France’s prime minister failing a no-confidence vote. Plus, what’s your most cherished holiday tradition?

Lee/The New York Times South Korea’s president is facing an impeachment vote Members of South Korea’s political opposition yesterday moved to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol. The motion could be put to a vote as early as tomorrow, and comes after his declaration of martial law on Tuesday ended in spectacular failure. Several opposition parties filed the impeachment motion together. If the vote is successful, Yoon would be suspended from office and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo would become the interim president. Yoon’s fate would then go to the Constitutional Court, where the justices could uphold the impeachment and remove him from office, or reject it and reinstate him. Here’s how the process could unfold. Collateral damage: Yoon’s defense minister, chief of staff and other top aides had tendered their resignations, South Korean news media reported. Yoon will address the nation today, according to an official familiar with his plans. Context: Yoon’s surprise declaration of martial law on Tuesday was the first effort to impose military rule in more than four decades. The audacious move was an attempt to break a gridlock in government that has hobbled Yoon’s nearly three years in power. Several people in suits walk down a hallway carpeted in red.

Sarah Meyssonnier/Reuters France’s prime minister lost a no-confidence vote French lawmakers passed a no-confidence measure against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his cabinet yesterday, sending France into a fresh spasm of political turmoil. Barnier is expected to resign soon. France’s lower house of Parliament passed the measure with 331 votes — well above the required majority of 288 votes — after Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally joined the chamber’s leftist coalition. The move leaves France without a clear path to a new budget and threatens to further unsettle credit markets. It could also create a wider opening for the far right. What’s next: Barnier is likely to remain as a caretaker until President Emmanuel Macron names a new prime minister, but weeks of instability are on the horizon. Context: It was the first successful no-confidence vote in France in over 60 years, making Barnier’s three-month-old government the shortest-tenured in the history of France’s Fifth Republic.

Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times Senators waver on Hegseth for defense secretary A small but pivotal group of Republican senators expressed concern yesterday about Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to be defense secretary. Hegseth has been accused of sexual assault, public drunkenness and mismanagement while running veterans’ nonprofits. “Some of these articles are very disturbing,” Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s closest allies in Congress, told reporters. “He obviously has a chance to defend himself here, but, you know, some of this stuff is going to be difficult.” Trump yesterday named a senior counselor for trade and manufacturing and a possible overseer of NASA. Here are his latest picks. What’s your most cherished holiday tradition? For many of us, the holidays are full of traditions. Which ones are you most looking forward to this year?
