As President Bush arrives in South Korea today, protests are scheduled to condemn US beef imports and US-Korean trade policy. Street protests have been occurring in Korea since April, when South Korean President Lee Myung-bak lifted a ban on US beef imports. A coalition of activist groups said in a statement, “We oppose the visit by Bush who sells US beef with its risk of mad cow disease that threatens the health and lives of the public.” President Bush is stopping in South Korea on his way to China, where he will become the first US president to ever attend an Olympics game on foreign soil.
