China Knocks Trump Trade Deal with Vietnam
- On July 3, the U.S. administration revealed a new trade agreement with Vietnam that includes tariffs aimed at preventing the rerouting of Chinese goods and addressing trade imbalances.
- This pact follows months of U.S. efforts to enforce reciprocal tariffs and counter China’s export practices, with the 90-day tariff pause ending July 9.
- The deal sets a 20% tariff on Vietnamese goods and a 40% tariff on goods transshipped through Vietnam to the U.S., aiming to curb Chinese-origin goods rerouted via Vietnam.
- China’s Ministry of Commerce strongly opposed any agreements made at the detriment of its interests, warning that it would take countermeasures to defend its legitimate rights if necessary.
- The agreement raises tensions with Beijing and may set a precedent for future U.S. deals targeting transshipment, with potential economic risks for Vietnam and wider geopolitical implications.
