President Trump directly mentioned the Georgia case in a Fox News interview on the 11th (local time) and said, “There were Koreans there who had been making batteries their whole lives.” He continued, “Making batteries is very complicated. “It is not an easy task, it is very dangerous, and explosions occur frequently,” he said, emphasizing the expertise of battery manufacturing.
“In the early stages, they brought in 500 to 600 people to build batteries and teach others how to do it,” he said. “But then they tried to drive them out of the country.” It expressed regret that the plan to transfer battery manufacturing know-how to American workers through Korean technical personnel was almost aborted due to an immigration crackdown.
