SEOUL: South Korea's former prime minister Han Duck-soo said Wednesday (May 7) he was the best candidate to cut a deal with Donald Trump, as the country faces a snap poll triggered by the impeachment of the ex-president.
The June 3 presidential election will decide who replaces Yoon Suk Yeol, who was removed from office over his ill-fated declaration of martial law in December, which sent South Korea into a period of prolonged political turmoil.
