President Donald Trump recently announced a significant trade agreement with Vietnam, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. trade relations. This deal, revealed on July 2, 2025, aims to reshape tariffs and market access between the two nations.
- Trump announces trade deal with Vietnam.
- New tariffs: 20% on Vietnamese exports.
- Vietnam to grant total market access.
- Uncertainty about deal finalization remains.
- US trade deficit with Vietnam increases.
- Stock prices of reliant companies rise.
The agreement includes a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports to the U.S. and a 40% tariff on products transshipped through Vietnam. In exchange, Vietnam will grant the U.S. total access to its markets, allowing American goods to enter without tariffs.
