In his latest post on the social network Truth Social on July 2, US President Donald Trump provided some details about the trade agreement with Vietnam.
President Donald Trump wrote: “I am deeply honored to announce that I have just reached a trade agreement with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, after speaking with the esteemed General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam , To Lam.
This will be a great partnership agreement between our two countries. Under the terms of the agreement, Vietnam will be subject to a 20% tariff on all goods entering the United States and a 40% tariff on goods in transit.

In return, Vietnam will do something it has never done before: Give the United States full access to its market for trade. In other words, it will “open its market to the United States,” meaning we will be able to export products to Vietnam with ZERO tariffs.
In my opinion, the SUV line – also known as the big engine car – which is very successful in the US, will be a great addition to the diverse product line in Vietnam.
Working directly with General Secretary To Lam was an extremely pleasant experience. Thank you for your attention to this issue!”
