Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, is due to arrive in South Korea after authorities tried and failed to arrest the impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol.
After a dramatic six hour stand-off, police called off the attempt to arrest the suspended president – as Mr Yoon’s security team formed a human wall and used vehicles to block the arresting team’s path.
