  • Karine Jean-Pierre

  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 1 hour ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 1 hour ago
  • Eric Adams
    Eric Adams “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There's no place for acts of hate in our city. I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 9 hours ago
  • Sergei Shoigu
    Sergei Shoigu “To maintain the required pace of the offensive … it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of weapons and military equipment supplied to the troops, primarily weapons.” 9 hours ago

“Unlike Moon Jae-in, whose focus was pretty much on inter-Korean relations and within the Korean Peninsula, Yoon pursues values-based internationalism and seeks to deal with the North Korea issue under that frame.”

“All in all, neither Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] nor Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has emerged in this race as a skilful politician who can resolve South Korea's many problems as president. The biggest obstacle to their success appears to be the voters', especially young voters', disillusionment with them and their parties. Indeed, despite countless scandals and failures, the two main political parties in the country hardly changed their approach to politics or developed inspiring new policies that can steer the nation through numerous internal and external difficulties.”

“As Kritenbrink [Daniel Kritenbrink] is a key figure in the Biden administration regarding regional matters, his meetings with the presidential candidates, with Moon [Moon Jae-in] still remaining in office, indicates the U.S. policy direction is to prepare for the next South Korean government, while seeking to maintain the status quo with the current administration. The assistant secretary is a China expert and the Biden administration's priority is to curb China's global influence, but the current South Korean government is not actively engaged in the U.S.-led anti-China alliance. In that sense, the meetings between Kritenbrink and the presidential candidates [Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-youl] are delivering a message that the U.S. cares about who will be in power here during its campaign against Beijing.”

“Compared to Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl], who has failed to present his own political vision, Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has a relatively stable image as a veteran politician. However, controversy is rising over scandals surrounding him, and his support rate is waning because of these. Lee is now urged to appeal to the young group by presenting viable policy plans as to how to put his basic income policy as well as other plans he has promised, such as providing more housings, into action.”

“Many of those in their 60s and 70s support Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] and many of those in their 40s and 50s support Lee [Lee Jae-myung], according to recent polls. Those in their 20s and 30s have turned their back on the current liberal ruling bloc, disappointed with its many corruption scandals. But Yoon has also failed to win their support, which was seen in the PPP [People Power Party] primary where Rep. Hong won more support from them. Yoon's leadership style as the former top prosecutor is outdated compared to other veteran candidates who have actively adapted to changing trends. Yoon has also failed to present his own political vision, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time. As he hurriedly rushed into the presidential election without any political experience, he will have to bring strong political figures or veteran politicians into his camp.”

“The ruling DPK [Democratic Party of Korea] has one strong contender and one medium contender, and the PPP [People Power Party] is also shaping up in the same format due to the support for Hong [Hong Joon-pyo]. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] promotes the image of being him a man of principle and the rule of law, but runs the risk of allegations of him being involved with political meddling. On the other hand, Hong is good at debates and offers radical and catchy pledges such as abolishing unions and a revival of the bar exams, although his pledges are not really feasible.”

“For Lee [Lee Jun-seok], he wants to control the primary so that he can receive a hero's welcome if the PPP [People Power Party] wins the next presidential election. For Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl], he is feeling a sense of crisis that he could lose the primary, as he does not have a high enough standing in the PPP, as he joined the party only a few weeks ago.”

“The recent drops among conservative supporters show that Yoon's [Yoon Seok-youl] moves and messages were not effective. As his remarks continue to stir controversy, it seems that fundamental questions on Yoon's quality as a presidential candidate have grown among conservatives. A presidential election is decided on a combination of judgment on the current administration and an evaluation on presidential candidates' policies. Former Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye both succeeded in having their parties stay in power despite strong calls for a leadership change. With Yoon's camp expanding, he will be able to come up with ideas on running the country. The problem is, however, whether he will listen to his politically experienced aides and improve on his shortcomings as a politician.”

“There are strong fears over nuclear power, but most of them are superstitions. There is only one nuclear accident that led to death - the Chernobyl accident - and divided by the amount of electricity produced, 0.5 people could be killed out of 1 trillion kilowatt-hour, equivalent to the amount generated for 100 years from a nuclear plant, so it is much safer than other energy sources. The study [about the economic viability of Unit 1 of the Wolsong Nuclear Plant] lowered the rate of operation of the unit and presumed the cost of electricity lower than the production cost to reduce the economic feasibility of the nuclear plant. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] clearly understood that Moon's [Moon Jae-in] nuclear phase-out policy defied existing laws and killed off Korea's top-notch technology in nuclear power generation. Korea has stable supply chains in all stages of making nuclear plants, from design, construction to operation and has won contracts in overseas markets, including the UAE. Korea's nuclear power technology is recognized internationally, but the phase-out plan dampened its export prospects. Korea does not have underground energy resources such as oil and coal. Renewable energy is not very efficient in Korea. Wind power is weak and solar power generation is available only during the day and it costs even more to store the amount for night. They cannot compete with nuclear energy in efficiency.”
