Yup they won’t be coming back and why on earth would they do anything else with them in the future.

"We're acting exactly like Nazis in Nazi Germany and I just don't understand why no one wants to do business with us!"
Also the guy from Ireland who had his subdermal piercings involuntarily cut out without anesthetic.
If we’re going off history, it’s bad news because fucking EVERYBODY still did business with the Nazis.
To be fair, lots of companies wanted to do business with the Nazis. Most businesses now don't have an issue with Trump being a fascist, but that it's unpredictable. That's bad for business.
Holy $&#+ that's horrible.
When Foreign Companies who are building extremely complex products, machines, and various other 'things,' come into the United States with massive Investments, I want them to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land," the president posted on Truth Social, adding “I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies. We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them.”
You know what's missing there?
An apology.
Also several inappropriately capitalized letters. Trump didn't write this.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
He can't write anything. The stroke rendered his right hand unusable, and he's probably permanently loopy, more than usual. It's "Weekend at Bernie's: The White House Years."
When has Trump use a word as big as disincentivize in the last 15 years? His media representative needs to up their game.
trump, apologizing never. Like most right winger, they give a typical corporate apology, a non-apology or they deflect the attention on an percieved enemy.
Divest from America! Shrink their economy!
Statesian here. I fully support this. Some people don't learn unless it hurts.
Trump backs off
The damage is already done. He got to stuff hundreds of Korean workers in one of his torture prisons while extorting the company and the country for their release. He's not backing off. He's pulling his fist back for another swing. Fucking headline journalists are too "TACO" pilled to see the next blow coming.
Trump didn't personally order this raid. He told ICE they were weapons free, here's your quota. Now that the predictable consequences are hitting, "Not like that!"
Trump didn't personally order this raid.
“I didn't shoot you with the gun I was brandishing in front of your face with the safety off while loudly threatening to shoot everyone around, it was an accident!”
Hyundai already announced a two to three month delay on this plant after this whole thing. They aren't walking away, but this isn't an event they are forgetting.
It won't matter what President comes after this one, this whole thing is going to influence investment from South Korea for some time.
If you were a foreign company considering investing a substantial amount of money to build a plant in the U.S., and then the unstable authoritarian dictator of that country pulls a stunt like this, you're going to reconsider putting any more capital at risk.
I've seen this plant, and it's massive. I don't know how close to completion they are, but billions have been spent. If they pull out they are going to take a hell of a loss. Hopefully that means they'll work to weaken Trump and the GOP in order to help their bottom line.
Sunk cost fallacy.
Its not just them too. They might be in too deep at this point, but other companies aren't. One look and they'll do business elsewhere.
korea seems to suck up to the gop quite often, probably i wont hold your breath. because they build in exclusive red areas. The only change will come , if Korean citizens refuse to relocate to the USA for work.
That might mean they don't send as many of their workers and it takes longer to finish.
An unstable authoritarian dictator who, as way of a supposed apology, has literally told you that he's going to do it again as soon as he's stolen your technology, with the stated intention of putting you and your whole country out of business.
Only reasonable course of action seems to write the factory down as a loss and never set foot in the USA again.
if i were korea, i would just cut my losses and build in another country, like mexico and canada. or build it in a blue states, but foreign companies love the lack of labor protections in red states
Nah. Things will return to normal after we elect a stable president and congress.
To any foreign entities, companies, individuals who haven’t caught on to the obvious truth: You are not safe here, your investments are not secure here, any visas, treaties, contracts are all 100% revocable despite any perception that they are legally binding. Do not come here. Despite the fact that there are good and rational people fighting to change this, the hard fact is that we are flaming out, and there is no telling what destruction and chaos is coming.
Just look at the destruction and chaos we perpetrated around the world when our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history.
our society was at its height and our population had the most accommodating economic conditions in history
I think that's the thing the populace isn't feeling yet. It hasn't impacted their comfort enough for them personally, yet. I never understood the mindset people had that led to "first they came for...". I no longer have that naïveté, for I am seeing it unreeling in real time.
Well, yeah, the number of people even aware that this happened is probably small relative to the adult population, and the number of people aware enough to remember what you’re talking about if you asked them on the street is even smaller. Of course, there’s a lot of awful things of important magnitude happening at a faster pace than usual, so I can see how difficult it can be to keep track.

The only foreigners coming into America should be members of an intervening military coalition.
This was such a preventable suicide, lol
Lowest IQ president in U.S. history.
Also a literal traitor to our nation, its Constitution, and democracy in general.
He really has got porridge for brains. It amazes me he can manage simultaneous walking and talking.
Why on earth would foreign companies want to invest in the US right now? He is the one that's making it less likely, there was plenty of foreign investment in the US under previous administrations then this moron came along and ruined it all.
Trump walks? I only ever see him behind something hiding how fat he is.
Yeah, he walks like the front half of a centaur. And he talks like a centaur's asshole with the runs.
He waddles for a few metres, it's not like he goes on hikes or anything.
Their cheap AI software can only do realistic videos of him sitting or swinging a golf club. I guess they didn't have enough data for anything else.
Pretty sure this is how racists determine a suitable client race. Abuse them & see if they come back for more.
South Korea needs to tell the USA to pound sand & open those factories elsewhere.
They need to start by removing the support structure from the building itself, they should not have a working facility when it is seized.
Canada would be happy to host more production facilities, and treat them a hell of a lot better than the US too
He chickened out again?
Pfft, a proper real man and leader would've gone down to that concentration camp and punched each one of those Koreans himself!!!
And then visited their parents. Popped in for a tea. Made some small talk.
And theeen spat in their mothers face. And fuck their fathers in the ass.
would’ve gone down to that concentration camp and punched each one of those Koreans himself!!!
Knowing what I know of Koreans, I'd love to have seen the result of that. I wouldn't rate Trump's chances of coming out unscathed.

Edit: sorry it’s a Chinese spyware link
At this point, I wouldn’t blame any company that immediately ceased expansions in America and started to consider moving existing production facilities to adjacent countries, like Canada.
Quintessential loudmouth chickenshit performs as expected
Canada, on the other hand, would be happy to host a Hyundai plant once again.
