 Trump says foreign experts invited after South Korea protests raid

President Trump on Sunday said the U.S. is open to having foreign experts train Americans in high-tech manufacturing, following the departure of hundreds of South Korean workers who were arrested earlier this month.

The tensions stemmed from a Sept. 4 ICE raid on an under-construction electric vehicle battery plant in Georgia, a joint venture between Hyundai and LG. Hundreds of workers were arrested for visa issues, sparking outrage in South Korea and prompting officials in Seoul to send a plane to repatriate them. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau visited South Korea last week to convey regrets over the incident.

Trump, in a Truth Social post, emphasized the importance of foreign expertise for U.S. economic goals, writing that foreign companies should be allowed to bring skilled employees to train Americans in producing “extremely complex products” such as chips, semiconductors, computers, ships, and trains. He stressed that without this knowledge transfer, massive investments from overseas companies might not materialize.

The statement highlights U.S. reliance on foreign know-how in industries at the center of Trump’s push for investment. Hyundai alone plans to invest $26 billion in auto and battery plants in the U.S., and South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung had warned that the raid could discourage future investment. Trump framed the policy as a long-term learning opportunity, saying the U.S. aims to eventually excel at producing these high-tech goods independently.

The key questions now are whether the repatriated South Korean workers will return to complete the delayed plant and whether Trump’s remarks will ease tensions with one of the U.S.’s most important Asian partners.
