The President's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained, "It is a diplomatic custom that the foreign parliament's personnel protocol is not handled by the executive, but by its counterpart, the National Assembly."



An official from the Speaker's Office also explained, "During the working-level consultation with the US embassy in Korea, the US did not go to the airport because it wanted the schedule to be kept confidential."



When asked about his position at the US embassy, ​​he said, "When a high-ranking official of the US government visits Korea, we cooperate closely with the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs," but later changed his position to "we coordinated in close cooperation with the National Assembly."



The debate continued over the fact that President Yoon had only a phone call with Pelosi rather than a meeting.



Within the Democratic Party, there was an opinion that it was the only good thing they did not jump into the flames of the US-China conflict on the one hand, while arguing, not meeting, talking on the phone, and reversing one after another.



There were mixed voices saying that it is incomprehensible that the passport did not meet the first person in the parliament of the ally, and that it was a decision that considered the national interest as a whole.
