Evening Edition: Short Lived Martial Law...

FOX NEWS RADIO
About this episode

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law overnight but hours later the parliament unanimously voted against the measure lifting the lockdown. President Yoon said the move was made to eradicate North Korean supporters and 'anti-state forces'. It does raise concerns about our ally and the possible influence of other countries like China and North Korea in the region.


FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Steve Yates, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former National Security Advisor for Vice President Dick Cheney, who says this is not a good look for our democratic ally in Asia and who also gives us some predictions on U.S.-Chinese relations as the new Trump Administration takes office.
