South Korea Warns US Immigration Raid May Hit Investment

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said a US immigration raid that led to the detention of more than 300 Korean workers has unsettled companies pouring billions into America.

“They simply needed skilled technicians to install the equipment to build the plant because there aren’t workers available in the US,” Lee said on Thursday, speaking at a press conference in Seoul to mark his 100th day in office. “This could have a significant impact on future direct investment into the US.”
