South Korea has just wrapped up talks with the United States for the release of detained Korean workers in Georgia, a presidential official said on Sunday.

U.S. federal agents carried out a raid at a Hyundai Motor manufacturing facility in Georgia this week in the largest single-site enforcement operation in the history of the Department of Homeland Security's investigative operations.
The majority of the hundreds detained were Korean nationals.
South Korea has recently reached a major trade deal with the U.S., which includes a $350 billion US fund to help Korean companies enter the U.S. market.
