Vietnam's Nguyen Hong Dien to Meet U.S. Officials as Country Reviews Tariffs on LNG, High-Tech Products

Vietnam's Minister of Industry and Trade, Nguyen Hong Dien, is set to visit the United States to engage with U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. The discussions aim to advance a bilateral trade agreement, focusing on energy deals and the prevention of product dumping. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has indicated that Vietnam is reviewing import duties on U.S. goods, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), agricultural products, and high-tech items, in an effort to boost imports and prevent a trade conflict with the U.S., its largest export market. This move reflects Vietnam's commitment to establishing sustainable economic relations with the United States.
