Wait a second...you rounded these skilled workers up and locked them up, and then, after abusing them, tried to pull a 'Good Cop' and convince them to stick around to train Americans who aren't qualified to do the jobs?
Brilliant business model! https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/east-asia/donald-trump-hyundai-raid-training-south-korea-b2824461.html
The arrogance and privilege and complete cluelessness of this regime is almost beyond words.
No one will start businesses here, are they not seeing this?
Things only an absolute piece of shit would ever do.
i can't believe the level of stupidity in the world right now
the whole fucking world
so fucking stupid
If I were one of those workers, I would train them how to pick one's nose in the right way. No less, no more 
Wish I had a dollar for every time a big corporation has told senior staff, "Here, train these people who have no tenure to replace you for a lower salary, and maybe we'll keep paying you for a bit longer."
I've never seen it done quite like this, though. Give it up for Trump, a man who takes an already horrible practice and dials it up to become outright monstrous.
Abusive people like Trump honestly believe that workers & voters should be treated like domestic violence victims.

Trump would likely have escalated with "shut up or I'll really give you something to cry about" as he did with his first wife.

These workers are right to leave as soon as possible.
Maybe Korea should, Hyundai should, build the battery and EV factories in Canada.
Start in The North. Wait four years for Trump depression to end, then go back to the US market.
@MattMcNeilShow toyota famously did this on purpose, and you think in the face of tariffs you'd need to strongarm hyundai into doing the same
clearly you're not appointing your best and brightest, here
(speaking of, trump appointees can be approved in groups through congress now rather than one at a time, so the kinds of brain geniuses who brought us here can populate the government workforce even more rapidly now)
@MattMcNeilShow it isn't in that report, but the previous report I saw said that he had *suspended* the deportation process, not cancelled it. Why would anyone ever trust him?
Edit: here we are - "*temporarily* paused" in fact: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/11/asia/south-korea-ice-raids-georgia-trump-intl-hnk
