Obama Presses for Free Trade with South Korea

Rewritten from “US, S Korea to Meet on Stalled Free-Trade Pact,” copyright the Cambodia Daily, Oct. 27, 2010.

WASHINGTON – Top US and South Korean trade officials were to meet in San Francisco yesterday to discuss how to ensure approval of a free trade deal between the two countries.  The meeting comes shortly before the November 12 deadline set by US President Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak to resolve differences over a pact.
     While running for president in 2008, Obama criticized the free-trade agreement negotiated by former US President George Bush.  Now he promises to resolve any problems with the pact.
