Vietnam scrambles to buy more American goods as it seeks tariff delay
Vietnam is scrambling to buy more American goods — including security and defence products — as it tries to bargain for a postponement of 46% US tariffs due to hit tomorrow. Top leader To Lam has asked President Donald Trump for a delay of at least 45 days. Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc made an urgent trip to Washington yesterday, but it is unclear if talks will be held before the tariffs take effect. Meanwhile, other Asian economies are firming up their responses and scheduling talks with US officials. Dr Jayant Menon, visiting senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, shared more about trade negotiations.
