President Donald Trump has announced a trade deal with Vietnam that imposes a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports to the U.S. and a 40% tariff on goods transshipped through Vietnam, particularly targeting Chinese products rerouted to avoid U.S. tariffs.
What Happened: In exchange, Vietnam will grant the U.S. tariff-free access to its domestic markets. Trump hailed the agreement on Truth Social as a "Great Deal of Cooperation," highlighting the potential for U.S.-made SUVs to penetrate Vietnam's auto market.
