Trump delays deportation of Korean workers after ICE raid at Hyundai-LG battery plant in Georgia

US President Donald Trump has intervened to halt the deportation of over 300 South Korean workers detained in a raid at Hyundai–LG’s battery plant in Georgia. Reports say Trump asked officials to keep the workers in the US to help train Americans, delaying a charter flight meant to return them. South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun suggested they could return later, while President Lee Jae Myung warned the incident may deter future Korean investment without a proper US visa system.
