It is clear what these other countries get - access to the huge USA market.

Is it much less clear what the USA gains.

It isn't like US rice will be sold in Vietnam or anywhere near the same amount as the goods they sell in the USA.

Trade needs to be win-win.

"....unfettered access to U.S. markets was a major draw."

Funny of no mention of "unfettered access to Japanese markets." That ain't gonna happen!

That's "free trade" folks. It's a boon for strictly controlled communist states like Vietnam but poison for working folk in developed democracies whose govts conspire with multinationals to push "free trade."
