US President Joe Biden, currently traveling in Angola, has yet to directly comment on South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declaring martial law. This move has raised concerns, especially considering the close alliance between the two countries. The silence from President Biden has surprised some within his administration, with one senior official in the foreign policy space describing it as 'pretty insane.'
The unexpected nature of the declaration of martial law in South Korea may be a contributing factor to the delay in communication from the US President. The Biden administration appears to have been caught off guard by the turn of events, as indicated by the lack of immediate response.
