By Kim Seung-yeon SEOUL, May 14 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is seeking a breakthrough in its push to retake wartime operational control (OPCON) from the United States through a top-level political decision between their presidential offices, a source familiar with the matter said Thursday. [...] At a Senate hearing in April, Brunson said "political expediency does not outpace the conditions" for the OPCON transfer.
