The White House of the United States made an inaction on the controversy over President Yoon Seok-yeol's 'slang' remarks, stating that the relationship between Korea and the United States has not changed.
A White House National Security Council spokeswoman said in a statement that "I will not comment on comments made without knowing that the microphone was on," the Washington Post reported.
"The relationship between the United States and South Korea is strong and growing," Lee said.
He also emphasized that "the two leaders had a fruitful and productive meeting on the occasion of the UN General Assembly."
There was a scene where President Yoon left the meeting room after the 'Global Fund Financial Commitment Meeting' hosted by President Biden the day before and said to Foreign Minister Park Jin and others, "If these XXs don't approve in the National Assembly, what will Biden do?" It was caught on camera and caused controversy.
In this regard, Kim Eun-hye, senior public relations chief, explained that the controversy over the remarks was not aimed at US President Joe Biden or the US Congress, but was referring to concerns about our opposition.
At the same time, President Yoon promised to donate 100 million dollars to eradicate diseases in underdeveloped countries at this meeting, but if the huge opposition party, which is in control of the budget deliberations, breaks this stance and fails to fulfill its minimum obligations to the international community, the country will suffer. He said he had told Minister Park Jin that he would not be able to stand.
