President Barack Obama said a trade accord with South Korea is a “win-win” for both countries that shows the alliance between them is “stronger than ever.”
The trade deal offers “more choices for Korean consumers and more jobs for American workers,” Obama told reporters in Washington, a day after the government reported the U.S. unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent in November. The deal is one example of how the U.S. government can “do more to accelerate the economic recovery and create jobs for the millions of Americans who are still looking for work,” he said.
