Hyundai boss says White House apologised to him over Georgia raid
Hyundai Motor’s Chairman, Chung Euisun, stated on Tuesday that the White House had formally apologized to him for a raid conducted by the U.S. authorities on one of the automaker’s offices in Georgia. The incident took place on Friday at the Hyundai Transys factory in West Point, Georgia.
The raid, which was part of a probe into alleged violations of antitrust regulations, caused a stir among South Korean officials, with President Moon Jae-in expressing concerns over potential damage to bilateral trade relations between the two countries. In response to the incident, President Moon instructed Korean diplomats in the U.S. to seek a swift resolution to the matter.
Following the reported apology from the White House, Chairman Chung Euisun expressed his appreciation for the gesture, noting that the U.S. government had acknowledged the misstep and indicated that actions would be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
The U.S. Department of Justice, responsible for overseeing antitrust regulations, has yet to comment on the situation or confirm any formal apology from the White House.
The apology from the White House marks a significant development in this ongoing issue, potentially alleviating tensions between the U.S. and South Korea over the raid on Hyundai’s office in Georgia.
