South Korea’s new president offers aid to the North if it denuclearizes

LA Times  

New South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol waves from a car after his inauguration outside the National Assembly in Seoul on Tuesday. Yoon Suk-yeol, a conservative political neophyte, took office Tuesday as South Korea’s new president with a vow to pursue a negotiated settlement of North Korea’s nuclear program and an offer of an “audacious plan” to improve its archrival’s economy if Pyongyang gives up on atomic weapons. There’s widespread skepticism that an increasingly belligerent North Korea will give Yoon’s offers much consideration, and South Korea’s deep political and social divides, as well as a growing worry about the state of a pandemic-hit economy, are reflected in a recent poll: Yoon faces lower popularity numbers than the departing liberal president, Moon Jae-in. In a policy briefing earlier Tuesday, South Korea’s military chief, Won In-choul, told Yoon that North Korea could conduct a nuclear test soon if Kim decides to do so. Yoon then ordered military commanders to maintain firm readiness, saying that “the security situation on the Korean Peninsula is very grave.” Analyst Cheong Seong-chang at the private Sejong Institute said there was little chance North Korea would accept Yoon’s conditional support plan because the North believes the South must first abandon its hostile policies, by which it means regular military drills with the U.S., before talks can resume.
