Vietnam's leader offers to reduce tariffs on US, Trump saysDonald Trump on Friday said he had a “productive” call with Vietnam’s leader To Lam during which Lam offered to reduce tariffs on US imports to his country.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform:

Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the US. I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future.

Developing countries in southeast Asia are among the trading partners facing the highest of Trump’s tariffs - Vietnam was smacked with a levy of 46%.

My colleagues reported on Thursday that one expert said Trump was likely to be targeting countries that received investment from China, regardless of the situation in that country. Chinese manufacturers have previously relocated to countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia not only due to lower operating costs, but also to avoid tariffs.
