Many police officers and chiefs did not support this and protested the decision, with Yoon threatening to fire them and put them in jail. Yoon's approval rating dropped to less than 30 percent in July 2022, after three months in office, because of the country's rising inflation. == Controversy == Yoon Suk-yeol went to the 7th financial commitment meeting of the Global Fund hosted by Joe Biden and met him there. Yoon Suk-yeol talked with Biden for only 1 minute. Many people criticized Yoon Suk-yeol, because he spent a million dollars to meet him but did nothing. The president fell short of expectations of people who hoped that he solved the problems of missing subsidy on Korean electric car and economic labor. Even though it was not a summit, it seems that people were even more disappointed because it was not easy to talk to the president. Also, Yoon Suk-yeol cursing Joe Biden on the way out of 7th Financial Pledge Meeting of the Global Fund hosted by Biden was videoed and became an issue. Yoon Suk-yeol claims that he said “Biden would be ashamed if his party doesn’t approve his agenda.” However, Yoon Suk Yeol claimed to have used the word "flying," not Biden, whereas many people are saying that he said Biden for sure. ==Personal life== Yoon married Kim Keon-hee in 2012.
