一名青瓦台高级官员表示，如果中东危机持续，政府可能会考虑在下半年制定另一份补充预算。总统政务秘书洪翼杓否认了反对党的说法，即目前悬而未决的26.2万亿韩元补充预算是为了在6月3日地方选举前寻求政治筹码。他引用了下调的增长预测和不断上涨的燃料价格作为理由。
总统政务秘书洪翼杓4月5日在MBN广播电台表示：“如果中东局势延长，即使在当前的补充预算之后，我们下半年可能还需要一份额外的补充预算。”他指出，国内外研究机构将韩国今年的增长预期下调了约0.4个百分点，尽管采取了减税措施，燃料价格仍在持续上涨。“我们不知道中东战争还会持续多少个月，即使战争结束，供应渠道恢复正常也至少需要三到四个月，”洪翼杓补充道。洪翼杓否认了主要反对党的指控，即目前正等待国会审查的26.2万亿韩元（约173亿美元）补充预算案是为了在6月3日地方选举前寻求政治筹码。针对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普呼吁盟国协助针对伊朗的战争努力，洪翼杓重申了谨慎立场。他表示：“我们仍然持非常谨慎的态度。美国尚未正式要求韩国派兵。”他提到任何军事支持带来的外交负担、因中国和俄罗斯反对而在联合国安理会面临的困难，以及国际法下的限制。
