According to Seoul’s foreign ministry, Landau conveyed his deep regrets over the detention of hundreds of South Korean workers in an immigration crackdown earlier this month at an electric vehicle battery plant construction site for a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution in Bryan County, Georgia.

A total of 316 South Korean workers returned home Friday, after being held in a detention center for a week.

    Landau also told Park that the two allies should try to use the incident as an opportunity to further strengthen their bilateral ties and improve relevant systems where necessary, according to the ministry.

    We should take this time we fucked your citizens over to strengthen our ties. We’re so sorry that we took a week to do anything about it and you now get an apology from an underling.

      I really want to see everyone stop doing business with the Untied States until the fascist government goes away. America must be punished and have no more nice things until the nonsense stops.
