South Korea probes human rights violations in Hyundai Raid; Trump says foreign workers are “welcomed”
In a sign of close ties that were tense by the RAID on one of the largest American investment projects in South Korea, the best commercial envoy of the country went to the United States on Monday while the two countries worked to chop the end details of a tariff agreement agreed in July.
About 475 people, including more than 300 South Koreans – 307 men and 10 women – were arrested during the September 4 raid on the American immigration factory and other federal officials who declared that they were investigating allegations of illegal employment practices.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said that those arrested in the operation worked illegally or had exceeded their visas.
The South Korean President Lee Jae Myung qualified the raid as “confusing”, adding that he would discourage future investments in the United States
But Trump said it shouldn’t be the case.
“I do not want to scare or disinpise investments in America by countries or external companies,” he wrote in The Truth Social Post.
“We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are ready to proudly say that we will learn from them and that we will do even better than them in their own” game “, in the not too distant future!”, The President added.
Trump said foreign workers had an expertise on how to manufacture “very unique and complex products” such as fleas and semiconductors.
“I want them to bring their expertise people for a while to teach and train our people to make these very unique and complex products, leaving our country, and back in their land,” he said.
“Fleas, semiconductors, computers, ships, trains and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to do it, or, in many cases, to relearn, because we were excellent, but more,” he added.
