Hundreds of South Korean citizens, mostly working at a Hyundai-LG battery plant in Georgia, were arrested in a US immigration raid. The raid, defended by the White House as enforcing immigration laws, has sparked a diplomatic crisis. South Korea dispatched diplomats and is considering further action, while LG Energy Solution suspended US business trips. The incident, occurring amid trade talks, raises concerns about the impact on future foreign investment in the US. South Korea's government expressed strong disapproval and is working to secure the release of its citizens.
