The May 24 measures, also called 5.24, are the sanctions imposed by South Korea against North Korea preventing economic relations with North Korea, implemented in response to the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan on 26 March 2010 that resulted in the death of 46 sailors. In October 2018, the South Korean government was considering lifting the May 24 measures against North Korea, though the United States President Donald Trump expressed displeasure at the move.
