Could Biden or Obama have pulled this off?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump has unveiled a powerful new U.S.–Vietnam trade agreement that puts American workers, manufacturers, and retirees first.
In a major announcement on Truth Social, President Trump declared, “I am proud to announce a historic trade deal with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam following my direct talks with General Secretary To Lam, a respected leader in their Communist government.”
✅ Vietnam Hit with Major Tariffs to Protect American Industry
Under the agreement, Vietnam will now pay:
- 20% tariff on all exports to the United States
- 40% tariff on any goods transshipped through third countries
This decisive move reverses decades of unfair trade practices and rewards Made in America production. It also reflects President Trump’s commitment to economic sovereignty and reciprocal trade, ensuring that our economy isn’t undercut by cheap foreign labor.
💬 “This deal will finally bring fairness to our trade relationship and stop other countries from taking advantage of American generosity,” Trump said.
🇺🇸 U.S. Gains Full Market Access – No Tariffs on American Goods
In a win never before achieved, Vietnam has agreed to zero tariffs on all American goods entering its markets. U.S. businesses will now have unrestricted access to Vietnamese consumers, boosting exports for American farmers, auto manufacturers, and energy producers.
President Trump highlighted the strategic advantage:
“This means American SUVs, large-engine vehicles, and other high-quality products will finally have a major foothold in Asia. Our businesses win, our workers win, and our economy wins.”
