WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Vietnam will face a 20% tariff on its exports to the US while agreeing to open its markets to US goods with a zero tariff.
«The Terms are that Vietnam will pay the United States a 20% Tariff on any and all goods sent into our Territory, and a 40% Tariff on any Transshipping. In return, Vietnam will … give the United States of America TOTAL ACCESS to their Markets for Trade.
