After ICE raids in Hyundai Georgia Plant, US agrees to let Koreans return under short-term visa deal

The US has agreed to let South Korean workers use short-term business visas and visa waivers to build industrial sites, following outrage over a Georgia raid where over 300 workers at a Hyundai battery plant were detained. The incident strained ties, with Seoul demanding better visa access for skilled labour. While the deal provides temporary relief, South Korea continues to push Washington for a new visa category to support its multibillion-dollar US investments.
