U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to address the South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement when he delivers his annual State of the Union address on Wednesday, Korean time.

During the address, Obama is expected to focus on economic issues, including the creation of jobs, and to call for bipartisan support for the ratification of the South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement.

Obama had stressed the importance of the trade pact in a speech he made last week.

Meanwhile, in Congress, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp said during a committee hearing that he strongly believes Congress should consider trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia in the next six months.

In particular, Camp stressed the need for Obama to present a timeline for the ratification of the South Korea-U.S. trade deal during his State of the Union address.

Attention is being drawn to how extensively Obama will talk about issues related to the Korean Peninsula during his address, including North Korea’s nuclear standoff and the possibility of resuming the stalled six-way nuclear talks.
