WASHINGTON (AP) -- Before attending the Summer Olympics in Beijing next month, President Bush will visit South Korea, the site of violent protests over the import of U.S. beef.
The White House made the announcement on Tuesday, the same day that American beef returned to South Korean store shelves under a new import agreement.
Bush had been expected to go to Seoul next week when he visits Japan for the G-8 summit. In Japan, Bush will have bilateral talks with both South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and Chinese President Hu Jintao.
