South Korea arranged for workers detained in an immigration raid in Georgia to be released and flown home. Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is flying in the opposite direction to deal with the political and economic fallout.

    Exactly. South Korea doesn’t realize that this is Trump’s way of signaling that he needs a kick-back.

    He needs money in his pocket in order for the workers to be released. Once they have them back, South Korea should pull out their investments in the US.

        I actually did this a few months ago. I switched out my 401k domestic mutual funds for international funds. I did a check on my investments and they are doing great.

        I also divested from any federal bonds and only invested in local/state bonds.

        It’s not much but it’s the right thing to do.

          I did a partial switch shortly after Trump was elected and also cashed out at fairly high points and left a chunk in money market.
