SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s Constitutional Court overturned the impeachment of Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, reinstating the nation’s No. 2 official as acting leader Monday while not yet ruling on the separate impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his shocking imposition of martial law late in December.

South Korea's top court reinstated Han Duck-soo as acting president as he pledged to focus on steering the nation through a U.S. "trade war".

Mass rallies for and against Yoon Suk Yeol filled the streets on Saturday as the Constitutional Court prepared to rule on whether his ill-fated imposition of martial law justified removal.
