South Korea workers detained in US raid head home
South Korea workers detained in US raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia are returning home after a chartered Korean Air flight from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The South Korean president has expressed concerns over the impact of the raid on Korean firms' investments in the US and is negotiating visa options for workers with Washington. The raid, which led to the detention of more than 300 South Korean nationals, has caused delays in the factory's opening, sparking worry in South Korea about the future of business activities in the US.
