US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

Imagine how relieved the World Bank is that they don't do an "ease of doing business" report anymore and thus don't have to work out how to factor in the possibility of having your tech specialists manacled hand and foot into the US score.

I know for a fact that on a smaller scale, individual teams across multiple companies in multiple industries have all quietly decided to hold in-person meetings in Europe and have the US employees travel, simply to avoid having two or three non-US employees going to the US.

It's been clear you shouldn't travel to the USA unless it's worth a lot of money to you, instead of just putting you on the next flight back, you'll be abused in a prison for at least 3 weeks first now. How much is risking that worth to you? An employer isn't paying me enough, personally.

Yep, pretty amazing how dumb Trump thinks the rest of the world is. Dumb is purposely creating a STEM brain drain in your own country, when you are prez of the United States. Nikkie Haley said it best when she said “every time I hear you, I feel a little dumber.”

"It's difficult for the average Fox viewer who's calling the police on 'immigrants' to discern between races. After all, we're dealing with people who still believe Trump, so it's the.. unfortunate .. section of the intelligence curve." - Official FBI statement (overruled by Patel)

Difference is Mexico as well as most Central & South American countries don't have the economic clout that South Korea does so they can't turn the tables on tRump by threatening to stop major investments in the US. Many MAGAts are so racist though they'd be happy with no foreign investment at all.

The project was a result of Biden’s Build Back Better plan and I’m sure it’s far enough along that they would sustain heavy financial losses if they pulled out now. That said, I’m sure they and many other companies are reconsidering starting any new projects in the US.

From what I can tell, this was Noem's bright idea although Miller has been pushing to increase the number of kidnappings per day and this was a fat target. But it backfired big time and cost millions! Pushed the factory completion schedule back 3 months! Such a clown show!

This was caused by some MAGA Karen who made up a bunch of lies about Koreans working at the plant and also to prop up her political aspirations. Time interval 18:40 Listen to this kray kray accuse people of human trafficking and dead bodies and going after other plants in the future!

Their aggressive ICE focus seems to be solely on Central and South American people Ignoring Russians, Balkans, Europeans, Asians, Africans et al ICE got the big photo op and headline they wanted. Apparently no one in charge thought thru the consequences of their actions.

It was straight up a massive f*ckup. Do ANY of these jokers even look like they know what they're doing? Destroyed and/or severely damaged ALL our once trusted services & institutions. Control of our top Universities. Killed so much of our trusted media, so far. Starting a War! & we're losing.

They're doing a good job of alienating the whole world, but if they think this is making the country look strong or smart they are sorely mistaken. We're a pathetic nation that was well aware of the destruction he would bring beforehand, and instead of rejecting it we enabled it, I'm so ashamed.

Too late. Damage done and trust lost. This administration won’t be trusted and future administrations will Have to work hard to regain a modicum of trust. That is the way relations among nations works.

If he was sincerely ashamed of how cruel and illegally they treated the Koreans, he could fire Noem and Hohman and reinstitute due process and upholding the US Constitution, which they and he all swore and oath to uphold.

Based on comments made (I think immediately after), he understood that ROK is friendly, who these folk were & why they were needed. And yet, despite his (according to him) infinite, god like Article 2 powers he didn't get them released then with an apology & they spent a week under awful conditions.

Damage is done. South Korea and the rest of the world saw what Trump really wants. He's not interested in "investment," just money. We'll take their money, let them train us, then throw them out and keep everything. He's already partially nationalizing companies - you know that's what's coming next.

Greetings from Sydney. Our government has lost its collective mind in making a pact with the USA for the delivery of submarines. They have taken the down payment but we will never see the hardware

Trump didn't even let them finish training our workers before his goonies descended upon them. The whole world saw that it isn't worth it to make a deal with him. He'll just take the money and the credit and backstab you anyway before the check clears

I've been watching Korean News after this incident (translated) and they're not coming back, no matter what he says, because they know his words are worthless. In fact, that's what they're saying, "His words are worthless."

Of course, as we all do, for every moronic move this idiocracy makes. We pay more than money, though. We are taxed on so many levels by these fools in government now. Our nation's reputation is ruined. My hope is that as we all feel the pain, we will learn and change course while we still can.

The savage and barbaric conditions these innocent workers were subjected to is a CRIME. It’s would be a crime anywhere, but the fact that America is the perpetrator is absolutely SHAMEFUL. No apology I can offer means anything. We must address the root problem or we are complicit. 86 47 🇺🇸 ⚖️ 🗽

Everything that Donald Trump touches turns to dust. The weird thing is, I'm not even sure that this Hyundai situation even made it on the news. If any other president would have nuclear bombed a factory deal like this we'd never hear the end of it.

Damage done. Investment by South Korea in USA won't end, but it will be anemic. Other countries will look at what happened and follow suit, because who wants to invest in such a high risk space? Trump wants to isolate America. He is going to get his wish.

Watching from afar, I sincerely hope all nations have taken notes of the Miller/trump regime and simply stop all interactions with the U.S. The signs of disintegration are beginning to appear. Minor cracks, hopefully become chasms cannot appear soon enough. There must be a demise of Miller/trump !!

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS! Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files, Release ALL of the Epstein files and furthermore...Release ALL of the Epstein files...

It will take decades to repair the damage FELON/Sexual Predator Donald J. "Bone Spurs" Trump & his morons have done to the reputation of our country. No one will trust us. No one will visit. No one will come to our aid. All because too many Americans didn't care enough to stop this.

Trump has his MAGAts. They do not differentiate between hard-working Koreans and hard-working Latinos. They're all "furriners", and one Tori Branum was the individual who dropped the dime to ICE. Who were all too happy to attack the plant and meet their quota: ca.news.yahoo.com/meet-woman-c...

ca.news.yahoo.comMeet the woman claiming to be tipster behind Hyundai factory raid that sparked international falloutTori Branum, a former U.S. Marine, who has accepted the online moniker of ‘MAGA Karen,’ is running for District 12 Congress in Georgia

A tad too late, the Yanks have thoroughly disgraced themselves......Those hard-working and fully legal South Koreans were treated like terrorists, that is not something either the individuals that were abused or their country of origin, will ever forget. Ever!!

Can you actually imagine, though? People coming here from all over the world to participate in the Olympics… and the streets are patrolled by fucking masked when with assault rifles the whole time? God, the US just needs to implode already. I’m over it.

Olympic teams have already been denied visas for training camps, so the Games will be interesting. And as a tourist, I would stay at home and watch the games from the safe comfort of my couch.

Id sooner see all the us athletes get gold.... Cos no other fucker turned up... In empty stadiums cos after kicking oot any one that isn't straight white male, all the straight white males shot each other scared of they own lefty shadows

I exploded onto BlueSky this morning because shit is hitting the fan faster than 1979's Airplane and don't call me Shirley. I sent out the Bat Signal to #TheNewUntouchables and they dropped everything to rip your face off. You don't want to miss this. youtu.be/NSaY-q2oUdk

They really fucked up here and they won’t come back. Who is that rightwing bitch that called ICE on them? She needs to take the brunt of the blame for this.

Just another example of Trump's approach: READY. FIRE. AIM. Face it, our national psychopath is ignorant and lazy. Even the Bushes, even Reagan, read briefing memos. Does any sane person insist that, despite having neither education or experience, they know more than any expert, in ANY field?

No, sorry, it's more "we'll deport you, but first we'll have some fun forcing you to do degrading horrible things because haha, we love that shit!" The complete antithesis of what a decent country should be.

That has always been the immigration policy in the US. The Naturalization Act of 1790 allowed naturalization to "any alien, being a free white person". On January, 1908 there was a trial in Minnesota to determine whether Finnish immigrants were white enough to be naturalized (conclusion: we were).

Yeah, but we had moved on from that in the 60s/70s/80s/90s I mean, there are clearly a lot more racists in the US than everyone realised, and that includes large parts of the GOP and the various police forces Not good at all

Tori Branum, a "MAGA" congressional candidate in Georgia's 12th district, has publicly claimed responsibility for tipping off (ICE), leading to a massive raid on a Hyundai/LG. The raid detained S.K workers w/legal visa's. S.K. & U.S. $12.6 billion investment in Georgia has crumbled.

Watch Korean investment in the EU climb. They will take care of their friends. The entire world wants Trump to fail miserably and they are the ones with the cards. As soon as Wall St crashes, which it will, he is done.
