A chartered Korean Air flight was bringing 316 South Korean technicians and engineers released from a week-long detention by US immigration authorities at a new Korean-financed plant at Allabell, Georgia for Hyundai Motors and LG Energy Solutions. In the end, it was talks with President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio that saved the Korean workers from internment for working without proper visas. Korean news reports said US President Donald Trump at first thought of forgiving the Georgia workers, but the Koreans were presumably too stunned to stay on. The aggregate US$350 billion reportedly committed by South Korean businesses also appears to be an object of speculation, as the figure simply means adding up various oral statements given by individual business groups. Washington and Seoul are also at loggerheads as to how profits accruing from potential Korean investments should be shared.
