Following a Georgia immigration raid detaining hundreds of South Korean workers, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau expressed regret and proposed using the incident as an opportunity to strengthen bilateral ties. Discussions focused on preventing future incidents, including creating a new visa category for Korean professionals working on large-scale U.S. investments. South Korea's First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo urged faster implementation of solutions. Approximately 300 workers returned to South Korea after the raid, which prompted President Trump's intervention.
