Trump regards Korea positively, but he dislikes strategies unfavorable to his interests
In a surprising turn of events, a raid by federal agents on September 4, 2025, resulted in the arrest of about 300 South Koreans at a $4.3 billion project by Hyundai Motor and LG Energy Solution in Savannah, Georgia. The project, aimed at building batteries for electric cars, was the focus of the investigation.
The South Korean government is currently investigating claims that these workers were subjected to abuse. However, no further details about the reason for the arrests have been provided in the article.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the South Korean business community in the United States, with Samsung and SK hynix reducing trips to the ESTA program following the mass detentions.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Deputy State Secretary urged South Korean companies to continue investing in the U.S., despite the Georgia raid.
On a separate note, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit took place on September 1, 2025, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Chinese President Xi Jinping in attendance. The location of the summit was the Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center in Tianjin, China.
The article, published jointly by Reuters and YONHAP, does not provide any information about the relationship between the Georgia raid and the meeting between Xi and Modi.
Michael Green, the CEO of the U.S. Studies Centre at the University of Sydney and the Henry A. Kissinger Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was not directly mentioned in relation to the Georgia incident.
The CEO of the operating company for the battery production project in Savannah, Georgia, is Jose Munoz. The article does not provide any new facts about the project or Mr. Green in the current paragraph.
As of now, no specific information about the outcome of the investigation into the Georgia raid has been provided in the article.
