Early beef talks possible between U.S., S. Korea: Cutler

A top U.S. trade official said Wednesday that the Obama administration may soon renew a push for unfettered access to the South Korean beef market.

"It's possible that in the near future we may decide that it would be useful to have consultations (on the issue)," Wendy S. Cutler, assistant U.S. trade representative for Japan, Korea and APEC affairs, said in an exclusive interview with Yonhap News Agency.
