SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s Constitutional Court is in session Friday to rule on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol, four months after the conservative leader threw the country into turmoil with an ill-fated declaration of martial law. It will either remove him from office or restore his powers.

The ruling caps months of political turmoil that have overshadowed efforts to deal with the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump at a time of slowing growth.
