Hyundai Raid: Trump’s Trade Blackmail Against South Korea

Ju-Hyun Park, a member of Nodutdol and the Web Editor at BreakThrough News, joins the show to break down why ICE stormed a Hyundai battery plant in Georgia. Nearly 500 workers were arrested, including American citizens and Korean visa holders in the largest single-site immigration raid in U.S. history.

Park explains why ROK politicians accuse the Trump admin of using this as a form of “blackmail” in trade talks in which Seoul pledged billions for U.S. investments in exchange for lower tariffs.
