Lutnick says Hyundai should have called him for visas, Axios reports
[WASHINGTON] US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Thursday that hundreds of South Korean workers arrested during an immigration raid had the wrong visas and that Hyundai Motor should have called him to secure the right ones.
“I called up the Koreans, I said, oh, give me a break. Get the right visa and if you’re having problems getting the right visa, call me,” Axios quoted Lutnick as saying in an interview. REUTERS
