Vietnamese Goods to Face 20% Tariff Under Trade Deal

President Donald Trump announced on social media that he has arrived at a deal with Vietnam, and its goods will face a 20% tariff. If goods are transshipped, the president said, they will pay 40% tariffs. "In return, Vietnam will do something that they have never done before, give the United States of America TOTAL ACCESS to their Markets for Trade. In other words, they will “OPEN THEIR MARKET TO THE UNITED STATES,” meaning that, we will be able to sell our product into Vietnam at ZERO Tariff. It is my opinion that the SUV or, as it is sometimes referred to, Large Engine Vehicle, which does so well in the United States, will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam."
