South Korea’s Constitutional Court reinstated PM Han Duck-soo to the post of acting president on Monday, striking down his impeachment as he pledged to focus on steering Asia’s fourth-biggest economy through a US “trade war”.

He had earlier taken over from President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached over his imposition of martial law in December. The martial law declaration sparked a leadership vacuum.
