The Bush administration has agreed to a trade deal with South Korea following months of talks. Thousands of people rallied in Seoul on Sunday against the agreement. More than 10,000 police officers were deployed.

Choi Soon-young of the Democratic Labor Party: “(The FTA) is a pact to protect the United States, and we’re forced to make a deal. If the two countries reach a bilateral deal in this way, it means we dedicate our people’s life and our country’s future to the United States.”
