As it fucking should.

These were LG engineers here on valid visas to oversee and train people building of a fucking state of the art proprietary battery plant, part of the largest investment in Georgia in the last 50+ years.

The people arrested, none charged by the way, weren't relocated here, they had short term visas, here to get the work done and go home, to let the locals take over once built.

They should fucking pack it up, demo the walls that are there, and leave it abandoned. So should every other foreign company who's considering coming into this shit show.

Just like the FAFO Arkansas farmers who saw the tariffs blow their soy bean sales from 14 billion to literally zero, all the overseas business go to Brazilian soy farms as of this year, these ignorant twats need to see acting like a fascist orange bitch man child isn't going to make shit great.

Smart.

South Korea has sat back and watched as Trump has destroyed both the American economy and reputation. In a diplomatic sense, our government is nice and weak. Hitting someone in the wallet is always effective, but now is an especially good time for South Korea to make such a serious threat.

You'd be dumb to risk resources investing in America right now clearly.
