DETROIT (Reuters) – The governor of Georgia on Friday called on President Joe Biden to overturn a trade ruling made against SK Innovation, saying that the decision would hurt the electric vehicle battery maker’s plant being built in the southern state.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s request came two days after the U.S. International Trade Commission sided with LG Chem Ltd, which accused SK Innovation of misappropriating trade secrets related to EV battery technology.
