would you build a car plant here to beat the tariffs? Or would you pivot to work with other, more reasonable countries? Rumpy claims that hundreds of car companies are now building plants here. I don't believe him, but regardless of what happened with all the South Koreans, here legally or not, would you chance having hundreds of your Nationals subjected to ICE conditions and deported to gawd knows where?

ETTD in action. I doubt rump even cares about SK's anger, as long as it doesn't get in front of his golf game. Look for our ambassadors getting expelled from SK.
