President Donald Trump said that Vietnamese leader To Lam is willing to eliminate tariffs to avoid punishing new US duties imposed on the Southeast Asian nation’s imports.
Lam “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 said on Truth Social, describing a phone call between the leaders on Friday. Vietnam had earlier asked the Trump administration to put on hold its planned 46% tariff on Vietnamese products for up to three months to enable negotiations.
