In a news conference with new South Korean President Lee Myung-bak at the presidential retreat, Bush also said the United States and South Korea agreed to maintain current U.S. troop levels on the Korean peninsula.

Bush said the U.S. Congress must approve a free trade agreement with South Korea this year, calling it a "priority" for his administration.
