It Begins: Vietnam Offers to Eliminate Tariffs on USA

President Donald Trump announced that Vietnam wants to drop tariffs on U.S. goods entirely if a deal can be struck between the countries.

Trump revealed the major development following a phone call with the general secretary of Vietnam’s Communist Party, To Lam.

“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 U.S.,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future,” he added.

The call comes days after Trump announced his sweeping worldwide reciprocal and baseline tariffs, which included a hefty 46-percent discounted reciprocal tariff on Vietnamese goods imported into America. (Read more from “It Begins: Vietnam Offers to Eliminate Tariffs on USA” HERE)
