Presidential office says S. Korea-U.S. alliance has ‘bipartisan’ support

South Korea will continue to closely work with the United States regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential election as support for the bilateral alliance is "bipartisan," the presidential office said Monday. U.S. President Joe Biden dropped his reelection bid on Sunday under growing pressure from his fellow Democrats and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's candidate to face Republican Donald Trump in the November election. A senior presidential official said the Yoon Suk Yeol administration will continue to work with the U.S. to further develop the bilateral alliance. The official did not mention Biden, saying he would refrain from commenting on the domestic political situation of another country. "Support for the Korea-U.S. alliance within the U.S. is bipartisan, and our government will continue to work closely with the U.S. to further develop the global comprehensive strategic alliance," the presidential official said.
