Great news, Vietnam has large trade surplus with US, top 3, so by lowering tariffs they will lower costs to their consumers and overall inflationary pressure and improve relations with S due to a level playing field for US biz.

What happened with your dignity Vietnam??..

Remember the dignity you have when defeat US in 1973..

I remember a Canadian friend of mine in the 90s who put a patch of the Canadian flag on his backpack, thinking he was going to score points with the Vietnamese who must have been still resentful of the war, only to find that the Vietnamese he talked to were disappointed that he wasn't American. The US and Vietnam are becoming allies and share a common goal in reducing the toxic influence of the Chinese Communist Party.
