South Korea Forms Task Force After US Visa Issues
The South Korean government has created a special team to help its companies deal with US visas.
This is because over 300 South Koreans were recently held in a US immigration raid.
The team will gather information about visa problems from businesses.
They will also talk to the US government to try to make the visa process easier.
Companies have complained that it's hard to get visas, and this makes it difficult for them to operate.
The government is also looking into whether the detained workers were treated fairly.
South Korea launched a task force to address US visa issues for its companies.
The task force was formed after an immigration raid in Georgia.
Over 300 South Koreans were detained and then released.
The task force will gather information from various industries.
Officials plan to propose reforms to the US based on the task force's conclusions.
