President Lee Jae-myung warns raids could see South Korean companies ‘hesitate’ to make bigger investments in the US.
Following a significant immigration raid in the US that led to the arrest of hundreds of South Korean workers, President Lee Jae-myung expressed concerns that such incidents may deter future investments from South Korean companies unless the US improves its visa system. The recent arrests, part of a broader investigation into labor practices at a Hyundai construction site, have prompted discussions between South Korean and US officials regarding the need for better worker protections.
