Korean Deal on Beef `Not Enough,

Written on April 19, 2008

South Korea's agreement to let in U.S. beef will not be enough to get a pending free-trade agreement approved by Congress, a top Democratic lawmaker said.

“A last minute, unenforceable, untested, agreement on beef is not enough to satisfy Congress,'' Michigan Democrat Sander Levin, the chairman of the House Trade Subcommittee, said in a statement. “The problem with this FTA has always been broader than beef.''

The trade deal, the biggest for the U.S easy quick payday loans. since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, was signed last June and must be approved by Congress. Levin said the accord will need to be changed to address barriers to U.S. manufactured goods, especially automobiles.
