SEOUL (Reuters) -A top U.S. diplomat expressed regret on Sunday over a U.S. immigration raid that detained more than 300 South Korean workers, proposing making the event a turning point to strengthen bilateral relations, South Korea said.
Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau met First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo on Sunday, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Landau mentioned President Donald Trump’s decision that the Korean workers would not face any disadvantages when they re-enter the U.S., the ministry said.
After about a week of detention at a U.S. immigration detention facility, the Korean workers returned home on Friday.
