I like when politicians/diplomats of other countries speak very politely yet hit just as hard as whatever Trump is doing.
At this rate Trump is going to unify Korea.
He really is the peacemaker. 🥹
He would literally spin it like that. The man can't help but lie about everything or use it as a way to boast about himself.
If Jesus Christ himself came down, Trump would take credit for it.
I don't know why anyone is surprised, Trump clearly expects foreign companies to invest in US operations staffed purely by white US citizens. This raid was a feature, not a bug.
Which ironically was almost what things were going to be. The Koreans that were over here were on temp visas to teach Americans how to run the plant.
I work in this industry, and most of the american employees are not great. Also there are huge language barriers, so training is extremely difficult when these machines have 3,000 parts and are as long as a football field. Finding good employees is tricky and the smaller plants usually ignore OSHA laws and put their employees health at risk.
Wasn't this whole thing kicked off by a conservative tiktoker that is running for Georgia Congress? She reported seeing Mexicans, they did a raid and were surprised to find out that they were South Korean.
No idea, it doesn't necessarily negate my point though. This wouldn't have happened if they were white.
Shame. They miss-spelled "should".
DW changed 'likely' (as per Korean president Lee) to 'Could'
There’s not a good modal verb in English to describe a likely consequence. “Will/would” are definite, ”can/could” are maybes, and “may/might” are (less likely) maybes. “Ought” and “should” signify moral(ish) perspectives and would probably be editorializing. I might use “dürfte” in German, but I’m not sure that would be right.
They probably shouldn’t have tried to rephrase it with a modal verb at all, or maybe “will likely.”
"May well" would have worked.
“May well” absolutely indicates the right level of certainty, but feels a little informal to me. I don’t know if that’s universal, but particles in English almost always strike me as more for the ear than for the eye. Though given that this is from a speech, I’m just overthinking it, lol
Well Duh. Companies don't want to spend money in a country they aren't welcome.
American manufacturing is dying because of Trump. I'm in the manufacturing industry and 90% of our customers stopped purchasing in November and went into money saving mode. It's now august, we have had zero large orders come in and customers are only getting the necessary repairs when they are down and losing tens of thousands of dollars a day in lost production.
Oh also, most of the manufacturer's in the US use machines with imported parts. ALL OF THOSE PARTS are now 15-50% more expensive for no reason, so they are losing money and have to charge more. Tariffs are ruining the manufacturing industry quickly.
"Could"? Soft response.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
