US President Donald Trump on Sunday said foreign workers sent to the United States are \u201cwelcome\u201d and he does not want to \u201cfrighten off\u201d investors, 10 days after hundreds of South Koreans were arrested at a work site in Georgia.<\/p>\n
In a post on his Truth Social platform, the 79-year-old Republican wrote: \u201cI don\u2019t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials alleged South Koreans had overstayed their visas or held permits that did not allow them to perform manual labour.<\/p>\n
The Georgia raid was the largest single-site operation conducted since Trump<\/a> launched a sweeping immigration crackdown across the country.Though the United States<\/a> decided against deportation, images of the workers being chained and handcuffed during the raid caused widespread alarm in South Korea<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump on Sunday said foreign workers sent to the United States are \u201cwelcome\u201d and he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5311],"tags":[30288,3720,32,2307,145048,119116,43313,55700,5486,31167,45632,10888,525,23108,49,978,659],"class_list":{"0":"post-424777","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-chips","9":"tag-computers","10":"tag-donald-trump","11":"tag-georgia","12":"tag-hyundai-lg","13":"tag-immigration-and-customs-enforcement-ice","14":"tag-korea","15":"tag-lee-jae-myung","16":"tag-republican","17":"tag-semiconductors","18":"tag-seoul","19":"tag-ships","20":"tag-south-korea","21":"tag-truth-social","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-us","24":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115205068812038867","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
