South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak delivers a speech at presidential house discussing the the recent Korea-U.S. agreement on the resumption of U.S. beef imports on May 2, 2008 in Seoul, South Korea. The South Korean government had reached a decision to resume imports of U.S.beef for the first time since cases of mad cow disease were found in American beef in 2003. The two nations have subsequently clashed over the age of the animals that would be involved in any trade. Lee apologised on behalf of the government for failing to gauge the public sentiment concerning the issue.
