South Korea no longer reviewing call to join ‘Operation Freedom,’ as it’s on pause

South Korea’s presidential office says it has suspended a review on whether to participate in a US operation to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz after US President Donald Trump put the plan, known as “Project Freedom,” on hold.

“We don’t believe a review of Trump’s call to participate in Project Freedom is needed at this point,” Wi Sung-lac, the South Korean presidential national security adviser, tells a press briefing.
