The reasons behind this are numerous, but organisational and economic concerns played a significant part in the decision.

Does the USA have a National Oylmpics Committee for Tae Kwon Do?

IOC >>>>> USOC \/---------------\/ W.T.F. >>> USAT The Olympic Games are run by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Each country has its own National Olympic Committee recognized by the IOC. In the United States, it is the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC). Each sport must have an international governing body that regulates the sport world wide as recognized by the IOC. For Taekwondo that organization is the World Taekwondo Federation (W.T.F.) located in Seoul, South Korea. Individuals and schools can not become members of the World Taekwondo Federation. The W.T.F. consists of national Member Associations which form Continental Unions. Each country must have a national Taekwondo Governing Body ("NGB" or "NTGB," or "TNGB") which is approved by that country's national Olympic Committee, and recognized by the World Taekwondo Federation.
