Description

Description

The U.S. immigration raid on September 4 disrupted construction at multiple LG Energy Solution Ltd. battery sites across the U.S., including the Hyundai-LG Energy joint venture near Savannah, Georgia. Korean staff are hesitant to travel due to visa fears, causing potential delays in project timelines. LG Energy is building production lines in Arizona, Michigan, and a joint venture factory in Ohio with Honda, with operations scheduled to begin next year. Construction at some sites has effectively ceased, and work at a joint plant in Georgia by Hyundai and SK On is reportedly on hold.
