The reason for the deterioration is the deportation of 475 legally resident Hyundai employees.

These employees were supposed to build a Hyundai factory in the US.

Hyundai promised Trump that it would build that factory and, for various reasons, has therefore sent its own people there to do so.

ICE is Trump's Gestapo. They have to deport a certain number of people, and they repeatedly fail to meet their quota.

So when a MAGA candidate pointed out the 475 aliens she considered illegal, ICE didn't hesitate.

Most of those people were handcuffed at the factory and were taken away with shackles on their arms and legs and put on a plane to South Korea.

That'll teach them a lesson, those damned aliens!

But... the South Korean president called the US president. And now it's getting juicy.

The American translation of that conversation mentions nothing in the transcript about the factory or the treatment of the workers.

The South Korean translation only mentions the shameful treatment and includes the threat to the US that ALL South Korean companies will close their factories in the US and halt all investments if a stunt like this happens again.

Trump subsequently signed an executive order directing ICE to leave Hyundai alone.

ICE has since taken down all the success stories it had posted about this action.

The blonde MAGA bimbo who caused this mess has been vilified online.

This whole affair clearly demonstrates how incompetent the entire US government has become under Trump.

Quick successes, no policy, and above all, a complete lack of understanding of international relations and economics.

It's just a matter of time before the next scandal... (and before the article was even finished, I found it... A Mexican was shot dead during an ICE checkpoint... Mexico is questioning this.)
