President Lee Jae-myung said last week that Korean companies would “hesitate” to invest in the United States as a large-scale immigration raid against the United States after a massive immigration raid at the Georgia modern plant last week.
More than 300 Koreans will be returned home on Friday. Officials said their departure was delayed because of the US situation.
Lee said, “The situation is very stupid.
“If it is no longer allowed, it will be more difficult to establish manufacturing facilities in the United States.
The BBC contacted the White House and presented opinions.
Last week, US officials detained 475 people (more than 300 Koreans).
LEE, who spoke at a press conference to commemorate the first 100 days of the president’s position, said Seoul is negotiating with Washington for visa options for Korean workers.
“I think the United States will solve this problem as a real need,” he said.
He added that the White House’s instructions were delayed to start in the United States in the United States.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President Donald Trump ordered a suspension. According to the Korea Foreign Ministry’s management, workers were willing to stay in the United States to continue working in the United States and train Americans.
LG ENERGY SOLUTION, which runs a factory with Hyundai, said many employees arrested have a variety of visas or visa exemption programs.
A worker at the factory talked with the BBC about panic and confusion during the attack. The staff said that the majority of the detained workers were the dynamics of installing production lines on site and hired by the contractor.
Korea, a close US ally in Asia, has promised to invest tens of billions of dollars in the United States and to offset tariffs.
The media in this country explained the air raid as “shock.”
The Yonhap News Agency announced an editorial on Thursday that the two countries urged to “cooperate to repair the cracks of the alliance.”
As the two governments participated in sensitive trade negotiations, the time of raid raised concerns in Seoul.
The White House dismissed concerns that it could prevent foreign investment by defending operations at modern plants.
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump mentioned raids in social media posts and urged foreign companies to hire Americans.
Trump said the US government would be “prompt and legally possible” to bring workers to the state if foreign companies respect immigration laws.
