Trump Urges Foreign Companies to Abide by U.S. Immigration Laws After Hyundai Plant Operation
In the wake of a recent immigration enforcement operation at the Hyundai battery plant in Georgia, President Donald J. Trump issued a strong message to foreign investors, urging them to respect the nation’s immigration system while continuing to contribute to America’s economic growth.
Trump reaffirmed that the United States welcomes global investment and is ready to streamline the process for companies seeking to bring highly skilled international talent. However, he stressed that this must be done through legal channels, ensuring compliance with U.S. laws.
“Our country is open to innovation and world-class products,” Trump stated. “But we ask in return that foreign companies not only bring talent legally but also commit to hiring and training American workers. Together, this will strengthen our economy and bring our nation closer in unity than ever before.”
The president emphasized that the administration would work quickly to make legal pathways for skilled professionals efficient, reducing bureaucratic barriers. At the same time, he highlighted the need for corporations to play a meaningful role in developing the domestic workforce alongside global expertise.
The call comes amid heightened scrutiny of labor practices at foreign-owned factories operating in the U.S., underscoring the administration’s dual focus on immigration enforcement and economic nationalism. Trump’s remarks reflect his broader agenda of encouraging foreign investment while prioritizing opportunities for American workers.
