Vietnam-US Trade Talks Stall Amid Tariffs Imposed by US Trade Rep Jamieson Greer
Published on 5.20.25
The recent ministerial-level talks between Vietnam and the US in Jeju, South Korea, highlight the complexities of international relations through trade agreements. The negotiations come as a response to the US's imposition of tariffs on Vietnamese imports, which could significantly impact Vietnam's growth.
Vietnam's trade minister Nguyen Hong Dien met with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Jeju, South Korea, following their phone call last month, where they agreed on Vietnam's approach and proposal for negotiations. The postponement of a 46% tariff on Vietnam by the US until July is a significant development, as it could disrupt Vietnam's growth heavily reliant on US sales.
The talks between Vietnam and the US aim to strengthen their economic, trade, and investment relationship, underscoring the importance of cooperation in international relations through trade agreements.
