Donald Trump called on multinational companies to “respect” US immigration laws but admitted experts from overseas should be allowed to come to the US to train American workers in the wake of the arrest of South Korean workers in Georgia.
US authorities last week arrested 475 workers at a Hyundai electric-car battery factory, the majority of them South Korean nationals, in the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s largest single-site enforcement raid to date.
The raid was carried out by hundreds of federal and state agents at the construction site of a joint venture between Hyundai and battery maker LG Energy Solution, two of South Korea’s biggest companies.
