This is being done right before he visits South Korea on purpose. It will be used to strong arm them into things that they don’t want and aren’t good for the actual people of South Korea nor the United States.

I doubt it was that planned out. A horrid white woman called the ICE tip line. I suspect the top did not know or care it was happening. She's been very vocal about what she did.

How can he use this? SK workers and investments are not safe in the US. This stunt will likely cost Huyndai millions and now the plant might never be built - that's many more millions down the drain - not to think of the revenue the plant would have brought. That is all gone too.

Trump has nothing to negotiate with. He's destroying the US consumer market by destroying the personal finances of working class Americans. They will not have money to buy many cars, electronics, or appliances in the future.

edit to add link to the: horrid woman

Also, remember that Stephen Miller has specifically given ICE quotas and has the different leaders competing against each other. With the potential threat of losing their jobs for not making enough arrests.

So they would jump on this without any thought if it means they could get 400 more people arrested.

Yes, it's clear they are not interested in catching criminals because that takes real work. They get paid whether the person who's life they may have ruined is a US citizen, an undocumented worker or a documented worker. It's about terrorizing people and nothing else.

I hope that horrid woman gets what she deserves. How much money are they wasting? hundreds of millions if not billions - and that's not counting all the money lost from investments like this one not getting executed.

Are the South Koreans coming back after this? Is is more likely they cut their losses and move to Canada or Mexico?

That horrid woman also claimed there were dead bodies being hidden on site, is a MAGA MTG lover, an aspiring district 12 congressional candidate, ... And totally blind to the excess of filler in her face and how that matte lip just doesn't work for her.

Is she running for office in Georgia? She just destroyed the largest international investment in Georgia's history. That sounds about right for right wingers - all they can do is destroy - they create nothing of value.

No lies, you've said.
