On September 7, President Donald Trump said foreign companies need to recruit and train US workers and respect the country's immigration laws after US authorities raided and arrested about 475 workers at Hyundai's auto battery factory in Ellabell, Georgia on September 4.
"After the immigration campaign at the Hyundai battery factory in Georgia, I call on all foreign companies investing in the US to respect our country's immigration laws," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The US leader stressed that the country welcomes foreign companies to invest and encourages investors to legally bring talented personnel to the US to create "world-class products".
"In return, we require employers and trainers to be American," Trump said.
President Trump's article was published after he told the press that he would review what had happened, and affirmed that the raid last week did not harm his relationship with South Korea.
The US president also proposed the idea of considering the possibility of allowing some foreign manufacturing experts to enter the US to help train US workers.
The Korean government regrets arrests in the US as well as the release of a film recording a scene of a steel-backed vehicle arresting a worker while being handcuffed and put on the vehicle.
Seoul is rapidly receiving about 300 Korean workers arrested in a border raid on immigrants in the US.
