According to the US "Beast Daily" on the 27th, before meeting with the South Korean president, U.S. President Trump suddenly said he opposed the massive immigration raids carried out by U.S. immigration law enforcement on South Korean modern automobile factories.
Earlier, on September 4, in Georgia’s law enforcement raid against a battery factory and related contractors operated in cooperation with South Korea’s Modern Automobile Group and LG New Energy, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel arrested 475 people without legal identity, more than 300 of whom were Korean citizens.
On October 27 local time, Trump told reporters when he flew to Japan on the presidential aircraft Air Force One: "I am very opposed." he said that the move did not take into account the reasonable reasons for modern automobiles to introduce foreign workers in the United States. "When they came to the United States to build very sophisticated mechanical equipment, they had to introduce professionals, at least in the early stages would be so ... batteries are complex, manufacturing is also dangerous. It is impossible to find someone from the unemployed crowd, and then say, 'We have just opened a $2 billion factory.'"
Trump further said that while he wants to pursue a strict immigration policy across the U.S., it is possible for foreign investors to “introduce experts” in the U.S. he said: “They need to introduce talents over a period of time...they will teach us how to do it.Our people will become as good as they are over a period of time, and then gradually (replace), but we hope they can introduce experts, which is the current practice.”
The report mentioned that South Korean President Lee Jae-myung publicly condemned the US raid and warned that it might seriously affect South Korean investment in the United States. The leaders of South Korea and the United States are expected to meet on October 29th.
