The aftermath of the shocking congressional riots of President Trump supporters is raging in the United States. Staff members are stripping clothes, and there are claims in Republicans that President Trump should be suspended. Let’s connect Washington and listen in more detail.
Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung. (This is Washington.) Yesterday (7th) in Washington, there was a curfew. How is the atmosphere right now?
<기자>
Washington, DC, is rapidly finding stability starting today.
Protesters are almost disbanded, and new fences have been erected around the Capitol to prevent access by the protesters, and construction has been underway to add trees to the windows of the building.
<앵커>
There’s also a talk that Trump’s job should be suspended. How can I do this?
<기자>
The 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires the Vice President to act on behalf of the President if it is impossible for the President to perform his/her duties.
Even some Republican lawmakers are making public statements that the 25th Amendment should be invoked.
Senate Democrat Schumer, as well as House Speaker Pelosi, insisted that President Trump be brought down immediately.
<앵커>
And now even the staff are leaving President Trump?
<기자>
The most painful part for President Trump is that the people around him are throwing his resignation.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao resigned today for the first time among cabinet ministers.
At the White House, Assistant National Security Adviser Pottinger has also submitted a resignation, and National Security Adviser O’Brien, a key staff member, is also considering resigning.
<앵커>
Lastly, the intrusion of parliament is a very serious condition. However, I was a little too generous about this, and it seems that this point is coming out locally, but this is because of racism.

Last year, during the White House protests against racism, the National Guard as well as the Secret Service FBI police jointly defended.
This time, it is even pointed out that some policemen were too lukewarm by acting as if they were deliberately opening barricades to the protesters.
Let’s listen directly to Biden-elect.
[바이든/미국 대통령 당선인 : 공정한 정의를 집행하는데 확실하게 실패했습니다. 인종차별 반대 시위대가 그렇게 시위를 했다면, 대응하는 방식이 너무 너무 달랐을 것입니다.]
It is even painfully pointed out that a massive disaster would have occurred if the blacks led an illegal protest in the Capitol.
